@manton not to bang the drum too loud on this but it is another example of language games being used to deceive.

“By ‘private’ we mean ‘not private’.”

What could private mean if not invisible and inaccessible to any entity apart from the sender and the specified trusted target recipients?

It is often so hard to see how ludicrously flippant and self-serving these language games are because they are so pervasive and so laborious to unwind. I almost nodded off writing this reply…

@jsonbecker I’m so glad it turns out I’m not a self destructive incompetent with unfounded paranoid attitudes towards this profession and its practitioners. The more money I was making the more expensive the treatments became, as I would see dentists in “my plan” or some other herding algorithm which paired means with need rather than the other way around.

@wrenman the ever popular “words mean what I say they mean” approach. A playground favorite!

@pratik @jsonbecker Great piece. There exists a class of Americans that believe the only things Americans should do in the collective is fight wars, play football, and make money. Collective actions in all other domains are socialism. Conversation finished. Thus the bogus focus on individualism as the efficient problem solver. But I really needn't inform you both about that... :-)

@Munish I believe reporting in the public interest by private companies on cyber issues is severely compromised by commercial pressures, professional status sensitivity, and good old-fashioned denial.

@wrenman Best way to learn new things about stuff of interest (was unaware of torque assist, it's dark here in the shoebox) is to do it like you would normally, but then add doves.

@BenSouthwood I can never be bothered to actually work on my procrastination, y'know? I mean, when will I ever really need that skill in the real world, c'mon, right?
