His blog post really adds to what can be read in Marraccini's paper, with a great transcription of the Q&A session that followed the presentation. Marraccini's answers seem to me pertinent and well documented (even if my personal opinions are sometimes different).
I certainly subscribe what VViews' writes: "While we may not all agree with all of the points she makes (and I am sure it will ruffle some feathers) I think as hobbyists we should pay attention and not just shrug off this rare bit of scholarly insight just because it may not provide support for our preferred interpretation of the imagery".
I also share his hope that Marraccini will follow this line of study in the future. As Koen wrote, the draft paper is largely "suggestion for further research" and I am sure that Marraccini has the competence and the enthusiasm to contribute to the furthering of her own suggestions.
