One warrant that Wallace has is that people turn a blind eye to the treatment of lobster and that as long as they do not think about it, they can go on with their day.
I would publish this article in the magazine, mainly because it gives another perspective on the lobster. When a restaurant cooks the lobster for you, you are separated from the process and do not realize what the happens. This is showing how inhumane cooking lobster can be, and clearly they are suffering when they scream. This essay reveals how many people will just take any information from organizations and trust it because it sounds scientific. If they are told that lobsters cannot feel pain then they will believe that because the source seems credible when they start throwing around anatomical vocabulary. He is trying to show that things aren't always what they seem, and the lobsters being boiled is a great example because it is something than you can easily space yourself from and the result of cooking them is a great meal, so people are more willing to forget about what has to happen.
