Mr. Goldberg admits that he does not know Mr. Schultz (whoever that is, never heard of him).  Nevertheless, he fills a column with speculations of how the man thinks.  I think that if one really wants to know what a person thinks, one must at least go through the motions of asking the person.  It seems a common trait of journalists and others to try to tell us what others think while the rational and productive approach of engaging in direct dialog and asking questions is ignored.  Any conclusions based on speculation or projection are of dubious value (except to those who simply wish to cast the person in the light they favor).
