This behavior is one aspect of Alzheimer's Disease -- a forceful and usually angry response to someone giving them information. For example, a patient might be told "Mister President, today is Friday" and the Alzheimer's patient replies "what do you mean! Of course it is Friday! Why are you telling me this? You say it is Friday, but how do you know it really is? .... ". And so on down that dark passage of mental confusion. Obsession is also a harbinger of mental confusion of the Alzheimer's patient -- their thought processes are scrambled and demand explanations for everything. I cared for an Alzheimer's patient for five years and know what I am telling you. Poor old Joe, I feel sorry for him in his ever-darkening fog and confusion.
