Keep in mind that I am not that much deeper in the book (stunningly good, review forthcoming), that the tonnage issue is disputable despite the written reference inside the quoted memorandum; it was likely a blend between possible capacity and wishful thinking by the mad men in the program.
The information about the Pont D'Espirit incident etc. awaits me in later pages.
What might be appreciated as a certain amount of hyperbole with regards to the entire experience of the lysergic experimentation and research is, for me, thus far in the book, dwarfed by Albarelli's extensive discussion of and evidence for the depth, history and techniques of the warped and forged logic, the use of corporate cover and involvement, and the ability to create legend and false historical identity and cover by the intelligence agencies of the state. It illuminates much of what we wonder about here.
