The emphasis is on explaining the method rather than optimizing the bound. The problem is reduced to constructing directions which make an acute angle with every member of a prescribed spherical set. These play the same role as the illuminating directions in Schramm's method. The geometric ingredients are an antipodal pairing, a lift by one coordinate, and reflection in a self-dual cone. This reflection folds Euclidean space into the cone.
