Well, he may have come up with the design for the thing. After all, if a computer or a smartphone is simply a bunch of chips soldered, screwed or superglued together, then Apple would be selling iBoards and the iBerry Pi, instead of selling the iMac and the iPhone.
What the OP called "cognitive dissonance" isn't limited to murderers, terrorists, and other violent basketcases. It extends even to relatively well-adjusted individuals. Take for example, Albert Einstein. Brilliant in formulating the Theory of Relativity, he resisted for a long time the idea of quantum chaos. "God does not play dice."
These eco-anarchists might have the insight to see the dangers of science while being unable to the see consequences of their own actions.
