How to Read the Intelligencer

Tunnel vision is the default product of modern media. This paper is built against that habit.

1. Read the desk file line. Era context is part of the claim.
2. Watch for both-side failures. If a piece only flatters one pole, we failed.
3. Follow the vault rails. One article should open three more decades, not a shopping cart.
4. Treat sky mysteries and market mysteries the same way. Evidence ladder first. Certainty last.
