According to your theory, it was a government clerk who made the original typo assigning a CT SSN to someone (allegedly) from HI.

Yes, a clerk in the Social Security Administration.

Now, it's possible for a government worker to not figure out that a letter is addressed to Honolulu, CT. Do you know how much mail the SSA handles in a daily basis??

Okay, you seem to be under the impression that all government workers are the same and they work for a single monolith called "the government." They don't.

You see, there are different agencies within the government, which do different things and have workers with different skills. For example, there's the Social Security Administration, which handles Social Security applications. Then there is the post office, which handles mail. The two are not the same, and the workers at each aren't the same.

The main difference relevant to our case is that the postal workers actually have to deliver mail. So they actually have to make sure the address on an envelope is real place they can deliver the mail to. Social Security workers don't. That's why a postal worker would be much more likely than a Social Security worker to realize the zip code didn't match the state.

This isn't very complicated, but I realize you were obviously stunted in your mental evelopment, so you might find the above hard to follow. Nevertheless, do try. I'll be happy to provide you with more clarification if you have trouble.
