Thank you. Woolsey's made a study of people and how they interact, largely because they mystify him.

...and the way the real Sheppard really didn't conform to Woolsey's fantasy of him.

I think without the Pandora device Woolsey would have developed his fantasy of Sheppard on more realistic lines. But, no, wait a minute. Even at the beginning before it was initialized he was choosing to think of Sheppard as a closet romantic, knowing that probably wasn't the truth.
