* The company wants to "give [customers] what they deserve" doesn't specify whether he believes they deserve reward or punishment.

* Instead of being merely uncovered, the product is being exposed to the atmosphere (implying a chemical or physical reaction) and is to affect customers within five city blocks (nearly 1 km). That kind of specific radius of impact is usually associated with a disaster, such as an explosion or chemical attack.

* When someone in the audience decides to leave in the middle of the presentation, Cueball reassures them that a "staggering" large number of people will survive. Bringing up the number of people who will survive implies that there will be fatalities, which is not an expected feature of most product launches.{{Citation needed}}

In the title text, someone is saying that the actual reveal was uneventful. Cueball interrupts, implying that there is one last feature to demonstrate. This is likely a reference to [[Steve Jobs]], who was famous for presenting such product launches as CEO of {{w|Apple Inc}}. Jobs would often appear to finish his presentation, then say "one more thing," before surprising the audience with another unexpected feature. In this case, however, the presentation is so foreboding that people are relieved when it seems to end without danger. When Cueball has more to demonstrate, they assume that the real threat is still coming.
