The author states:

“Granted that Bundy, a lifetime Nevada rancher, is not the epitome of sophistication.”

As if sophistication is a high aim of human existence.

Origin: 1350–1400; Middle English (adj. and v.) < Medieval Latin sophisticātus (past participle of sophisticāre to tamper with, disguise, trick with words), equivalent to Latin sophistic ( us ) (see sophistic) + -ātus -ate

By virtue of the fact one lives in fly over country, especially far away fly over country is de facto unsophisticated.
