Ah, so much absurd-calling in the comments here; but then, have you seen the certainly totally innocent butterfly drawings made by one bright young man Baden-Powell? My, oh my, now those butterflies have some weird resemblance to maps of our fortifications; but we wouldn't ban butterfly pictures in our compound, just because they resemble our secrets, that would be absurd, wouldn't it?

For me, knowing this, suddenly the article about spheres makes me much more uncertain about who's really right here.
(That said, the comment by derekp7 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13033511 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13033511) makes a really good point of highlighting a particular aspect of legalese creep in this context.)
