I can't get over the fact that AJ is Bill Hicks, so that puts him in the category of what I call "Simulant". This type of person is not an Intelligence legend, which is entirely fabricated. Also, he's not just an ordinary person. Like, don't you get a little bit of a weird feeling when you find out the first name of someone you know isn't their real first name, but they go by their middle name for whatever reason?
The weird feeling is precisely because we trust one another implicitly, and real fakery or deception is so uncommon. So AJ can tell an authentic and convincing story about his youth because it probably happened almost exactly that way, but we have to keep in mind he's definitely not an ordinary person.
