Davis presents the standard theory of whistleblowing and what constitutes circumstances in which whistleblowing is morally required of an employee. Three paradoxes follow from the standard theory (of burden, of missing harm, of failure), to which Davis responds with a complicity theory that avoids all of them. He uses the example of the Challenger in demonstrating a test of the latter.
