It never fails that organizations - with vast amounts of cash and access to the "best and the brightest" - can execute such colossal unforced errors.
I remember reading a piece years ago that Hollywood's pushing of these super intelligent charismatic villains simply did not square with reality. That is, most bad guys are borderline Darwin Award winners. To be sure, some bad guys ARE smart (Putin) or they get away with murder (OJ), but ultimately, good wins over evil. But you, of all of us, know that!
