Maybe he gets his knowledge of the Illuminati from Gargoyles. In that Show, well it's short run comic incarnation it is discovered that the Structure of the Illuminati works like this. There are thirty six ranks and each rank has that many members. There are thirty six at rank thirty six and so on. So there would be thirty three people rank 33 Freemason.
But I doubt Davie read the Gargoyles comic. No one but hard core Gargoyle fans know it exists. Besides it's fiction.
