Also, some people love cars but don't really know that much about them. My dad is a good example of that. Owned an MGTD, a VW convertible... really loves nice cars but I don't think he's ever changed oil himself once.
He loves his 86 Carrera cab - I mean LOVES it - but he has no real attachment to the marque. He wouldn't know a longhood from a SC from a 964. Heck, when he asked me to help him car-shop last year, he wanted to get a Solara convertible. Glad I talked some sense into him.
Either way, just because he isn't well versed in Porsche trivia doesn't mean he isn't worthy. He puts more miles on his car than most of the purists here. I think he put 15k on it last summer.
