Well done, Bruce.
Though I agree that over the past few years, Schneier's posts have been less substantial in analysis and contain more "thought experiments". I enjoyed his blog way more when it was restricted to the subject he has expertise in, i.e. cryptography.
"The NSA was most likely able to penetrate Hacking Team's network and steal the same data. The agency probably did it years ago."
Nothing too ambiguous about that assertion.
Teach us more.
The value of the opinion of that other guy that you mentioned is way more than zero - he gets invited to conferences, publishes in peer-reviewed journals, publishes free security software etc. So, people actually listen to what he says.
How dare someone think critically. Not on your watch.
Basically, you are just like a 4-year old begging for attention. You will get some, but unlike 4-year old, it will wane quickly. All the best!
