It is, if you read it as a request for a summary. What, is there none? Is it all description? If there is a 37-minute film about cryptography that is linked, would you expect everyone to watch it? Or would a request for a summary from someone who has, be fair? The sentence I quoted ("From a distance, Jim Myers looks like an ordinary farmer. Most autumn mornings, he stands thigh-deep in a field of wet broccoli, beheading each plant with a single, sure swipe of his harvest knife. But under his waders are office clothes, and on his wrist is an oversized digital watch with a push-button calculator on its face") can be summarized as "Jim Myers studies broccolis" (or whatever the summary is.) It is like commenting "is there an abstract somewhere?" when linked to a 300 page PDF that for some reason has none. |
