My take on the arrangement of the bits --- first Xerox PARC and then Scully whining about look & feel ---  was that it showed a delightful sense of dry irony.  To have a narrator pointing out what the arrangement made obvious would have sweetened things into sugary cloyity. 

Would it have spoiled some vast celestial plan to have had a Pammy walk-by?  Or did I miss it?
