Abstract High P T measurements of hard hadrons or jets at RHIC and LHC appear contradictory and in some cases counterintuitive, but upon closer investigation they represent a coherent picture of jet-medium interaction physics which can be established with systematic comparisons of models against a large body of data. This picture is consistent with a perturbative QCD mechanism and does not require exotic assumptions. This overview outlines how several key measurements each partially constrain shower-medium interaction physics and how from the sum of those the outlines of the mechanism of jet quenching can be deduced. Most current jet results from LHC can be naturally understood in this picture. A short summary of what can be established about the nature of parton-medium interaction with current data is given in the end.
