Even if the experimenter does not want to derive a formal design, the general structure (measurements at smallest and largest available dose plus the start and end of the approximately linear descent in the center) can serve as a useful rule of thumb for practical experiments.
Comparing the selected dose levels to the dose response curve in Fig. 1, we conclude that measurements should be taken at the largest and smallest available dose level, as well as at the beginning and the end of the nearly linear descent in the center of the curve.
Nonetheless it is his nerve that impresses: at the end there is a literal image of descent.
