The language and tone of this article was initially confusing, and seemed out of place in the context of the content of the article. Written in the prose of 18th century England, the dated language of the article is a sharp contrast to the technological terms and concepts that the article is focused on. Regardless, the author puts forth a clear and easily understood explanation of the way s/he used matrices to draw conclusions about a certain dataset. Matrix functions can be used to manipulate data in ways that expand the bounds of the original dataset. This expansion allows us to draw new conclusions about the given data, conclusions that we could not have assumed by looking at the original dataset. Though the old English tone of the article felt out of place, the explanation was straightforward and the status of the author as a “low-level operative” allowed him/her to use simple wording to plainly paint what was going on with the data. Additionally, the placing of the article in the 18th century eliminated most of the technical jargon that often makes some readings dense and confusing. Thus, although the tone of the author seemed out of place, it was ultimately helpful in understanding the concepts discussed.
