Does "Smith captures the tension between our reflexive selfishness and our broader moral intuitions about as well as anyone can here" mean "Smith not only captures the tension between our reflexive selfishness and our broader moral intuitions, but he also captures what anyone can capture here"?

Smith captures the tension between our reflexive selfishness and our broader moral intuitions about as well as anyone can here. The truth about us is plain to see: most of us are powerfully absorbed by selfish desires almost every moment of our lives; our attention to our own pains and pleasures could scarcely be more acute; only the most piercing cries of anonymous suffering capture our interest, and then fleetingly.
