Poisoning the Atmosphere

So, here's my question for this section:  why not just include it in the last?  What makes it deserving of its own title?  I mean, other than the beautiful "fishing expedition" transition on p. 91, and a clever transition with "pickles and mayonnaise" (Aside: did you know that it is the ability to use effective transitions that will increase the coherence and cohesion of your writing and make the people who score standardized testing "oooh" and "aaaah" in wonderment and glee?) and the transition between sections with the words "flickering," "feeble," and "fatal", why not just hitch it to the section before or after it? I ask you.  It's a strange little section.
