Where there’s smoke…
Bob: There is corruption, I’m sure.
Carl: Is there a provable link? Can you follow the money?
Bob: We’ll find it. Asking all the political questions: what, when, where, who and how.
Carl: Not the narrative question: why? 
Bob: Well, how is like why, isn’t it.
Carl: Not even close. "How" is modus operandi. "Why" is the reason explaining an event.

Questions reveal facts and drive a narrative. The basic ones are wh5 (what, when, where, who, why). Perhaps “how” should be spelt whow.
