From a 1987 Fresh Air interview about his approach to research:
I was also depriving myself of the ability to ask some very obvious questions if I thought I fit in. I was dying to know what an overhead cam was. People were always talking about overhead cams, but if you were pretending to fit in, you can't ask these obvious questions.
After that, I gave it up. I turned up - always in a suit and, you know, many times a white suit and just be the village information-gatherer. And you'll be amazed, if you're willing to strike that role.
