Is there any actual proof of this? Everything suggests it's a sincerely held belief and there's been no whistleblowers claiming otherwise. "Since before they could add 1+1" works against your argument because the models had no commercial value, no guarantee they would ever have commercial value, and plotting regulatory capture was about as serious an idea as regulatory capture of antimatter engines.

Was something I said unclear?

The purpose was to clarify that the obstacles to constructing modern nuclear weapons is not accurately characterized as "99%" fuel-related. Even if a group were to obtain a stockpile of ready HEU and plutonium-239, there is knowledge they simply will not have because they did not spend a trillion USD testing different bomb configurations last century. The difference in yield is two orders of magnitude.

Yes, they do. Advertising works. "Free with ads" isn't really free because on average you'll end up spending more money than you would otherwise. You're also paying more than if it was a subscription because the producer has to create both the product and also advertise it.
