Which St. Francis? The one who was brother to the sun and the moon, or the one who urged his friars to throw away all of their worldly goods and follow the Pope?

"Are you looking at saggy tribal titties again, Anon?"
"No, mommy, I'm looking at -flip flip flip- the Aral Sea."

Warmer? I'd be impressed if they at least understand the scientific method and qualifiy their statements with confidence levels.

Except there is no evidence in the fossil record to support this, either.
In your example, divergent populations B and C are still fertile with each other.

A great example is the artificial construct of race in humanity. Groups that diverged based on isolation and adapted based on climate, yet any fertile male and any fertile female can still produce offspring.

Microevolution, as in, the adaptation of the species, happens all the time.
Macroevolution, as in, an offspring is mutated into a species that is unique and cannot reproduce fertile offspring with members of the prior species happens never.

There is no evidence of Macroevolution in the fossil record.

Better yet:
1. Invent Cloak
2. Write Story giving directions
3. get slashdotted
4. website becomes invisible.

Yes, but may need to be solved with a disclaimer sticker on the visor or dash.

In the US, this would be "Google Maps Reveals Widespread Tax Evasion"

In the UK, even before Google got in there, the government was using spy satellites to check on things like farm subsidies: when a farm submits a claim saying there's a 100 acre patch empty (to claim "setaside" payments) or has a highly subsidised crop growing, it's quick and easy to check a satellite photo and know if it's really only 90 acres - or if only the strip nearest the road is as claimed, with a big patch of some more profitable crop hidden inside. Compared to the cost of sending someone there by car to inspect the whole field on foot, using satellites (which of course they had in orbit anyway, for more predictable purposes) apparently it saved a fortune.

"The financial center of the universe is New York City."

Maybe your financial universe, but I'm busy divesting my finances of anything to do with any company East of the Rockies. I no longer trust their ethics.

I fail to see how pimping to the biggest advertiser is "Journalistic Competence", thus your response is exactly why I find the question strange.

Journalistic Competence? From the New York Times?

Is only the paper of record to those who agree that New York City is the center of the universe.

Or a more vague description and question. Like "Officer, how exactly did you know the location and contents of my client's cell phone data?" Somehow I don't think many courts will accept "Officer Y told me" (hearsay evidence, inadmissible) or "I can't answer because I signed an NDA with the FBI" (secret police don't often go over very well with American jury).

Exactly. All this NDA needs is an admissibility test in court "Will the officer tell me how he knew my client was at X?" "I can't, I signed an NDA with the FBI" probably will not fly.
