The writer implies that those writing the program didn't know what they were doing, but perhaps they knew EXACTLY what they were doing, i.e., cooking the books in their favor.
Junk science at its best. One of our Objectivist or Sovietologist friends here ought to comment on the parallels with what Soviets did during the last century. Namely, trying to use political ideas to achieve scientific results.
IIRC, it had something to do with communist ideology and wheat crops. The result being failed crops and starving people. As the first premise was ideological rather than scientific, the failure was explained in communist ideological terms and the failures repeated.
The upshot here is that these moonbat "scientists" are in a headlong, mad rush to crush modernity and send us all back to their medievel agrarian society.
And, they'll lie, cheat, fudge facts, skew data, and whatever else is necessary to achieve the desired end result.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. Of course I'm paranoid and cynical.
Yep.
