You don't have to worry. Probably he's asymptomatic. He doesn't seem to have a marfan like habitus and over forty years its more and more unlikely. If he has problems it eventually can be repaired.
I don't know about dr. bobs intentions. He won't earn much tribute in the scientific establishment for p-babble. If he runs p-babble not only as a research project to support himself but to support people also then I think he's a good guy.
