Mr. Lincoln Would Not Be Amused

Tarbell never answered those questions, because she knew that Lincoln was a man of his time and had never faced many of the issues she wrote about. Instead, Tarbell told those interested to look at Lincoln's thought process and how he arrived at a conclusion for a problem that he had faced. Only through that could one see Lincoln's true wisdom.

I like Tarbell's response, but wonder how one is to determine accurately another person's thought process. Unless it comes out of my mouth, 90% of my thought process stays in my head or is deleted.
