The real embarassment should be that he did not understand that stunts do
not enhance learning!  Stunts are stunts.  Rensselaer used to fly a rocket
across the lecture hall (on a wire).  Everyone remembers the stunt, but not
the point.  If he wanted to entice students to his lecture, he should have
persuaded the previous lecturor to do a stunt, and imply that more would
come.  If the stunt worked, I would be all for it!
