I liken it to those who think that just because Y2K wasn’t a big deal, that companies overreacted, when in fact that “overreaction” was why Y2K wasn’t a big deal.

I got sick of reviewing code for two years.

Ended up being at work that evening. One system hiccuped, a minor problem.

Snuck a bottle of beer in and drank it at mid-night.

Yep.

And this event and the reaction of the “authorities” will help in the next attack.

And the next attack (it will come), the Chinese or whomever may get it right and millions could die.
