The logical thing would be to bore standing up, from no more than 50 degrees off vertical. Since the log has been laying around for 500 years, and some of it has deteriorated, she may have to bore at that angle to get the sample they want. But to bore a core sample from that angle, starting the core drill from a standing position requires the upper body strength of an ape. So I think glatt's theory of being posed, rather than candid, is valid.
