I didn’t try to explain any of this to Mr. Beto. Instead, I made a recommendation that proceeded from his assumptions. I suggested that he short-circuit people’s attempts to undermine his position by volunteering in advance all the information they could possibly ask questions about. The result of this behavior would be exactly what the chemists wanted, without however endorsing their view or invalidating his. The director of the company later reported that the problem was solved: “People say he’s speaking English now.”
