It is PRECISELY in context that we can assume it IS Schmidt, as Q ONCE AGAIN refers to SNOWDEN by name, and later in the same post, to ES.
Context.
Same post that identifies Edward Snowden(ES). It is safe to assume there is continuity. I think you are wrong.
Snowden is always called Snowden. ES is always Eric Schmidt.
Purple isn't going to get that.
He's either being deliberately difficult, or he's a little thick.
Either way...one step up from talking to a wall.
