The Fully Functional Phil spot meeting (pp. 883–884)

Second catalogued hit, the transcript's last question before the lights go down: Yee asking whether the spot "optically pulse[s] or strobe[s]." The raw grounds it personally — Yee is severely epileptic, seizing twice in this very meeting, so the question is a practical one about his own trigger — but it lands in a room convened because a cartridge that attacks through the eye is loose in the culture, and the question these executives must ask about their own anti-Entertainment product is whether it, too, assaults optically. The scene's deadpan does the work: in this Boston, optics is a suspected weapons category even in ad-agency preview rooms.
