If everybody's default behaviour is to muddy the waters by generating all kinds of contradictory data, the background noise level becomes so high that discerning fact from fiction is very difficult. Governments and corporations already use this tactic against the population

And it's effective against the population because they don't have access to what governments and corporations do - Big Data. (And because they have the easy task of manipulating emotion, rather than the difficult task of manipulating data.) Unless literally everything you ever do/say/type is [pseudo-random] misinformation (or you're exceptionally consistent with your cover story), sooner rather than later the truth will start to stand out from the background noise.

adding another distribution channel isn't really selling out

They're not. They're removing. You used to be able to watch the back catalog on SPS whenever you wanted. Now you just get a limited rotating selection.

it probably does that because the very first Model B rev 1 boards didn't have any holes in them.

That sound you heard is my point going over your head. (Hint: Being the lowest level grunt in a field is not "being exploited".)

To the people who make optical systems, lens hoods, and such... I'd imagine it's pretty significant. Not every discovery needs to world changing to be significant.

So long as the child traffickers sell them for adoption into family homes... and not to those who will raise them for prostitution, or raise them for farm labor, or raise them to cripple them and set them to begging, or...

Junior guys in [field] aren't as well known as senior guys and do most of the grunt work.

MIRV's and decoys can cheaply and easily neutralize any form of missile defense.

Well, no. Because MIRV's can't defeat terminal defenses and effective decoys generally either a) aren't cheap, and/or b) have noticeable and significant impact on the weapon's performance. Much of the propaganda about decoys comes from either the 1960's (before the advent of modern signal processing techniques) or from folks who oppose the systems but haven't actually been able to provide examples of such cheap decoys.

Hamas fires inaccurate artillery rockets, unlikely to actually hit anything

Huh? What are you smoking? They're 100% gaurunteed to hit something as what goes up must come down. The problem they pose to Israel is that the something their going to hit is somewhere in a crowded city, meaning potential civilian casualties.
