Stampfli and Embry characterized points in the numerical range which are extreme in terms of the linearity of corresponding sets of vectors. Das and Craven generalized this to include the case of unattained boundary points. We give an alternative proof of this result using a technique of Berberian. This approach appears to be more conceptual in that it enables us to deduce the result from that of Stampfli and Embry. We also illustrate how the same technique may be used to generalize other results of Embry.
