Reading through the article I got the impression that these questions were posed because they lead to more interesting questions. In fact, the last paragraph fittingly sums it up. "I pose these questions to stimulate deep thinking and further discussion."
Here's an example from the text of what she means: "In order to answer what is computable, we must consider the underlying machine (abstract or physical) that is the computer. Consider the Internet as a computer. What is a universal machine model for the Internet? Consider a molecular computer, a DNA computer, a nano-scale computer, or even a quantum computer. What problems can and cannot be solved through them?"
