Why this record matters

The linked authority identifier is Q5220894. VIAF identifies the subject as 32206153. The Library of Congress control number is n95065786. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
