I think, a lot of people imagine these people as very capable, and they think of things like those pagers etc., but when I think of them I think of the Lillehammer affair and a bunch of other similarly silly business, so I'm much less impressed with them, feeling that they're basically silly people.

There's so many cock-ups etc. that you can read about Wikipedia that I don't understand why people hold these people highly and imagine them to be so able. They simply aren't.
