Never assume 4D chess when simple incompetence can do the job, because 4D chess is rare, and tends to fail when it confronts the unexpected. If you were trying to sink the project this way, how would it work out if some other, unrelated scandal had popped up and distracted the general public?

Also... > Never assume 4D chess when simple incompetence can do the job In this context, its very likely that a government is somewhat behind it. We know the FBI and apple didn't get along. We know apple has been doing things quid-pro-quo for china to stay on their good side. So it seems like we're already sitting at a 4d chess board, but no one is sure who's playing. If a government says you have to do X on the DL, and you don't want to because its bad, then a logical solution is to get general population + news media to say "X is bad! We really hope X doesn't happen." Because then its easy to show the government why you can't do X.
