Richard asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Wasn’t Penric exploding earthworms somewhat . . . disrespectful? Though I’m not entirely sure of who. Inglis? The Royal Society? Shamanistic traditions?

Lois McMaster Bujold The earthworms, perhaps. Although given the worms' imminent fate of being stabbed, drowned, and eaten by fish, that may be a distinction without a difference.

But, Science! Don't just speculate or assert, test!

Ta, L.
