Neither do I.   Linus is mostly a fictional character.   I saw him in
a pub once but it looked like he was on a night out with the wife so I
didn't pester him.

If we met in a _professional_ context?  Sure, yes, I think we could
work out how arch works into his world -- much as how LM designed BK
with him.   But since, for all practical purposes, he's a fictional
character -- you might as well ask how I think Harry Potter would deal
with arch.
