They do seem to understand that the ad and the 7% statistic are about the military, and are performing an "alternate reading" based largely around the shared word "code." The alternate reading may be more "paradigmatic," but it's not particularly insightful or useful.

There's plenty of room to criticize the tech giants, and their advertising, but this is disappointingly shallow even for such a short piece.
