Gunsmoke's final two days gave Hamilton a chance to test his faith. The target was an old Navy surplus plane surrounded by protective earthen dikes. Pilots had to approach it "in the weeds" -- 200 feet above ground again -- from 150 miles out, flying over pretarget locations at precise times. Finally, Hamilton and others had to evade smoke missiles while dropping a bulky parachute-equipped 500-lb. bomb. Hamilton, alone among all Gunsmoke pilots, elected to try an F-16 computer program called dive toss. The pilot fixes the target inside a box projected on the up screen, punches...

A honest approach would have presented anomalies and evidence first (a few psychological experiments, introduced later seem to support him), rather than trying to seduce readers into believing that the theories of science and society are straw men, fit for burning...
...properly pursued, namely, by discussing them with the faculty member. Though one can imagine occassions on which the assistance of a Dean of Faculty or another member of the Faculty might be sought by both parties as a facilitator of discussion, it seems to me that the direct approach is the necessary first step...
