Thus, even though the title of his blog is Maps Can Talk, he tells it like it is: "Maps can't talk by themselves; it's people who speak through maps. By using maps and pertinent data, we can compare different ideas, exposing falsehoods and lending more persuasive power to the truth."
因此，儘管以「地圖會說話」作為部落格名稱，但他很清楚，「地圖本身是無言的，是人在透過地圖說話；也只有利用更多地圖與相關資料，才能讓各種說法互相比對，讓假話現形、真話更有說服力。」
