Do you get my point? If there is non-cybernetics human espionage activity, you are not supposed to see it. To people unaware of it, it looks like it doesn't exist.

The espionage holy grail is not perfect tech, is perfect misdirection. Of course, the concept exists, but nothing is perfect.

Not if you are arrested for espionage.
Of course I cannot disclose my sources and methods - I concede the argument.
