Hi Nishant,

While D is attractive, where do we have support for the idea that she is trying to provoke debate? I think it is clear she is trying to persuade, and is making an argument from her political convictions. However, I dont see why this is an invocation to debate. If anything, it seems like her work was intended to convince, rather than to invite critics to attack it.
