About whom does the op-ed writer ask these questions,
do you think?
Does this man think through his beliefs before they harden into unwavering
principles? Is he open to countervailing evidence? Does he test his beliefs
against new evidence and outside argument? Does his understanding of a subject
go any deeper than the minimum amount needed for public display? Is he
intellectually curious? Does he try to reconcile his beliefs on one subject
with his beliefs on another?
