First, E.Y. did more than signal his intellect; he demonstrated it. Second, E.Y. did more than what many of us could muster; namely, he took the other person seriously and engaged. This is a level of respect that often gets misread as pompousness. Third, E.Y. has a body of writing that clearly demonstrates that other people’s irrationality is his problem, and I agree. Fourth, if someone could thread the needle better, wonderful!
