"In the mid 1990s, the intelligence community in America began to realize that they had an opportunity. The supercomputing community was just beginning to migrate from university settings into the private sector, led by investments from a place that would come to be known as Silicon Valley."
Sorry, what?
Silicon valley was already known as silicon valley in the 60s/70s because it made ... silicon.
If it had only gained it's name in the 90's it would have been known as 'Software Valley' or maybe even 'Grandiose and excited tech salesperson valley".
