As @valued-customer said, i was not trying to admonish the evil intel agencies, although they deserve it.

I was saying that "collection is a a broken process"

When the very basis of that collection is flawed, everything from there on is flawed.

Which statement do you believe?

1. Doctors are working hard to find a cure for cancer. Hopefully some day they will find one.
2. There are many cures for cancer. None of them require radiation. You may have to leave the country to get treatment.

Most people i talk to believe #1. And to convince them that #2 is reality is almost impossible.

Such is that any information you gather on cancer cures most likely be of type #1.
Even though it is completely false.
The entire collection process failed before it started.
