But that is what intelligence gathering is. Sifting through data, some of which might conflict, to try to paint an overall picture.


Now really, the fact that my words were not intended to describe such a process is really irrelevant. Indeed, my main point was to suggest that the process is an inherently imperfect one. But why sweat the small stuff, eh?


So what were your words intending to describe or convey? Just meaningless nonsense?

But if by failing to go through the steps I came to an errant conclusion, correct it already! Otherwise, be a little more selective before you start pointing out other people's deficiencies to prove your own perceptiveness. But if you must, it would help if there is a point to it all!


 I agree, it would help if there is a point to it all. Your errant conclusion was that "intelligence gathering is, sifting through data... to try to paint an overall picture."


Poor fkusumot.  It's tough for you to link it all together, isn't it?  My conclusion was that intellgence gathering is imperfect.  Does your observation, assuming it even valid, challenge that conclusion at all (is this the 2nd or 3rd time I've asked this)?  It would seem you're stuck on a rail.  Each of your posts repeats incessantly about how I misrepresented the intelligence gathering process.  Very impressive.  But what would be even more impressive is you could correct it.  Surely it would be easy for someone of your mental acuity. 

But you know what I think?  Maybe, just maybe, you are the one spewing meaningless nonesense.  Maybe you don't have a clue what it is you're talking about.  Maybe you disagree with what I had to say, but find it difficult to develop a cogent arguement to counter it.  Instead you take the path of least resistance and nitpik an otherwise irrelevant point to discredit an entire line of reasoning.

Oh what the heck.  You're on a roll.  Just post another comment about how I don't understand how real intelligence gathering works.  Wouldn't want you to break a sweat explaining yourself.
