In "No Witchcraft for Sale," the scientist made his point in a perfunctory way.
The scientist in "No Witchcraft for Sale" made his point in a straightforward and matter-of-fact manner. He was not trying to be dramatic or persuasive, but simply to present the facts and explain his reasoning. He was not trying to convince anyone of anything, but rather to provide a logical explanation for why the villagers should not be selling their traditional medicines and remedies. He was respectful of their beliefs and traditions, but also wanted to make sure they understood the potential risks of selling these items.
