Have absolutely zero background knowledge here, but just to be pendantic your argument is structured as a logical fallacy [1].

While we maybe could estimate the relative sizes of the groups you mention and compare them relative to each other to guess the strategy/policy/tactics it's not clear that would be accurate; or maybe we could infer based on some heuristic or metric (like budget being a proxy for headcount), and even then it's not clear how certain that guess would be, so it's not obvious how "we all know" it's 99/1 vs 50/50, vs any other permutation.

Push come to shove would probably agree with your premise and conclusion, and really have no idea, so apologies for being nitpicky; without a background on the technical details it's likely I'm wrong.

To add to this, GP: it is enough to simply state facts and how they influence your opinion.

No individual can speak for all readers here on how they view this agency. Attempting to weakens the comment.


Yes, there is a logical fallacy here. Yet, that does not mean that the initial comment doesn't have a point.

(that's another logical fallacy ...) https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/logicalfallacies/Argumen...
