So the administration mispredicted something that was presumably obvious. You'd think the blog post about having serious discussions could actually explain that and attempt to have a serious discussion around it instead of mischaracterizing the interview and ignoring the content.

Misprediction? They are simultaneously surveilling everyone in the world and are getting nothing out of it. Confident statements from the administration are no longer worth a dime.

If they're not worth a dime then don't mention them at all. If they're worth something then they need to be discussed "seriously", as the blog post itself preaches. Not mischaracterized, and not used to mislead readers about their contents. All the arguing you're doing needs to be in the blog post, not here.
