Let's unskirt that question--why does Jamf measure Infant T's erections? Is
it just general perversity? Does it just serve the column inches joke?

p. 85:

"Shoestring funding may have been why Jamf, for his target reflex, chose an
infant hardon."

One of Jamf's objections to measuring fear, a la Watson/Raynor:

"too much subjectivity (what's fear? How much is 'a lot'?)"

"But a hardon, that's either there, or it isn't. Binary, elegant. The job
of observing it can even be done by a *student*."

Is the student the one measuring Infant T's penis? Who might this student
be?
