Aaron Sorkin as Shakespeare? or better?

Interesting piece articulating how the human mind is limited in its ability to inferring the mental states of others. Shakespeare had incredible abilities in this regard, as exemplified by the complexities in plays such as Othello. However, Sorkin seems to go even farther into with his complex plots, reaching even higher in terms of orders of understanding than even the great playwright. So while even the greatest West Wing aficionado would be unlikely to rate the screenwriter higher than Shakespeare, he does seem to have surpassed the Bard in terms of intricacy and complexity.
