That seems very clear from the article. She looked at it because the Louvre asked her whether that painting had ever been looked at in depth before. It seems that she didn't start out with any hypothesis about the history of this painting (

You could write the same about pretty much any popular theory. Looking at just the first few newspaper articles and surveys was enough to conclude that the media agenda influences the public agenda. After that, it was just a question of wat

It seems to work pretty well for my music library (where I have lists with artists and albums). That said, I appreciate being able to instantly go to all artists or albums that start with a certain letter, either by pressing a key on the ke

There are two contradictory forces shaping a language: effectiveness and clarity. Languages walk the narrow path between those two. Sometimes languages move in one direction, sometimes in the other direction. A loss of specificity (like the
