Reread the original conversation. It was about how North Korea was able to achieve some rather impressive technical achievements. It wasn't until the conversation was derailed by a "well akshually NK is not that bad" that we started having to go in detail on why NK is a, yes, poor and backwards country. I didn't want or expect to have to discuss this, but if someone wants to challenge the notion, I'm going to respond.
