I think that the idea of a caveman &c. and having the hawk as a central
figure in the presentation automatically lends itself to comic relief and
that Todd's statement that any publicity is good is more accurate than the
disaster prediction. As far as nother suggestion to show your lab values,
that would be ignored at best: Atkins has tens of thousands of remarkable lab
values that had little to do with the acceptance that has been decades in
developing.
