Agreed, there is a serious tone here that people should take in understanding how NK conducts itself. My interest here was just the data and a sincere explanation that there was no hacking involved or needed.

Purpose of this wasn't to mock. It was to show that the world really did pay attention to NK. Kim Jong Il dying was a big thing. Guessing it made some people hopeful, some nervous. What's probably sure is that the nuclear test definitely made people nervous. With this data, measurably so.

In my job I regularly evaluate whether to publish something, and it's never a light decision. Though this is a private item, I sat on it for a year and debated posting it monthly. Dozens of edits later, and the data kept nagging at me - so it's now out and done.
