This is too many words for inherently trivial ideas that are all based on the magic assumed already to be in place and readily available. But mostly it's the tone and triviality of what's being discussed. It's all a script-kiddie level.

What makes us think that techies in government departments are different from techies in other places?
What makes us think that pictures of kittens and internet memes are only acceptable for open source freedom hackers, and not people working for the government and private companies?
What makes us think that the internal messaging systems of secret organisations should not be trivial, human and sharing humour?
What makes us think that if someone thinks they are helping and protecting their country in their mind that they are morally wrong and have a criminal personality (James Bond Villain) because they are systematically abusing the law?
