  • Damien shows no earlier toddler evil before his fifth birthday; gradual maturation is offered as an explanation.
  • Mrs. Baylock’s interview and references receive insufficient scrutiny.
  • Peck rapidly recovers from a rusty cemetery spike through his shoulder despite the expected damage and infection.
  • The name Damien seems unusually sinister; ordinary alternatives would not have the same impact.
  • Brennan should explain the danger plainly instead of using biblical riddles and poems.
