so to speak...
anthropomorphizing the bombsight?
etymology of bewilder is "thoroughly led astray"
so if the bombsight's purpose is to sight where to drop the bombs, and
it isn't pointing toward the ground...

which sort of relates to how the pattern recognition of Basher and his
wingman changes from perceiving a target to perceiving an angel

but such leading astray from homicidal purposes is not necessarily a
bad thing...


then too remember the beginning of Vineland, where he talks about how
maybe an angel is composed of the lives and deaths of human beings (1s
and 0s)
