Exactly. Howard here reminds me of the John Travolta character in
Swordfish talking about hacking into the ultra-secure Department of
Defense mainframe:

"I have been told that the best crackers in the world can do this under
60 minutes, but unfortunately I need someone who can do this under 60
seconds."

Howard probably believes that sort of nonsense is the way hacking really
works.
