Paranoia in GR, as I see it, is a normal (or, at least, justifiable) condition resulting from the realization that one knows just enough to suspect but not enough to know. This is also how theories of conspiracy came to be. You are right about the "nightmare" thing, my post presented a strictly personal view.
