I don't know Sara Boxer's work, so I can't comment on how much she knows
about photography, but criticizing her for failing to speculate that the
older Abbott print was "fuzzy" because it was printed in soft focus (maybe)
misses her point. The purpose of the example was to show how the exibit
failed to answer obvious questions it raised. She didn't "speculate" that it
got fuzzy in fading--she wasn't, in fact, trying to explain the reason for
the difference between the two prints. Instead, she was obviously posing the
type of question that a viewer might ask but which was not answered by the
exibit.
