I find a lot of misplaced amazement here at numbers in general. He started by reading the manual, which was ONE THOUSAND PAGES!!! And found a vulnerability that affects a BEEELLION COMPUTERS!! And he's only TWENTY TWO YEARS OLD!!! Reminds me of the TV news, where any time a number is mentioned, they emphasize the hell out of it like I'm supposed to be amazed!!!!! Do they train 'em in journalism school to do that?
