It's not uncommon to find people on HN who are "in the room" when top-level decisions are being made in healthcare, defense, finance, etc
That's different from when an Oncologist forum is discussing SEC actions or an Accounting forum is discussing laser-guided munitions... or at least it might be different: you rarely know on HN who is speaking from direct knowledge.
And if it's about defense or proprietary information then HNers with knowledge will lurk but not participate.
