That's the justification that Foos used. He was observing all of this for "science" and had to use journalistic integrity not to get found out, so he didn't report the murder. If Talese is going to sneer at Foos for his justification of pretending it's for "science", I don't think that he can claim the same justification for "journalism".You're missing a whole important part of what the "author" feels his occupation is and the particular 'ethics' of that profession.
