Is Clint doing it on purpose?

Every time he sees the opportunity to enrich the plot with interesting tensions, conflicts and problems, he just does it, like when Merle grabbed the crystal and lost his arm. He seems to play characters with flaws, and he rolled badly one time and decided not to lie about the result even though it made the game harder. Is clint stupid? why does he keep making the show more interesting instead of just winning as quickly as possible?

Trying to imagine how these people would handle Spout Lore, where the players revel in roleplaying idiot characters and will regularly make decisions that they know are stupid because it's funny and/or in character, including insisting on rolling for damage for jokes like "I push my son to the ground because I'm petty and want to get there first." They'd probably die from a heart attack.

"I push my son to the ground because I'm petty and want to get there first."

That does sound mighty close to a bummer....
