I posted elsewhere, but is more appropriate here: The document itself struck me as checking for leaks. (Misspelled "hight"? No stamp?)
- uvdiv 13y agoMisspelled "hight"? Occam's razor reminds you that this is a third-world bureaucracy where English is not the native language. Not every typo hides a spy thriller.

- quantumpotato_ 13y agoPlease explain how typos help check for leaks
- nexox 13y agoIf you release multiple copies of the document, each with a slight variation, then keep track of who got which version, you can (potentially) figure out who leaked the document.
- abstractbill 13y agoYou give a different version of the document to each person, with unique typos in each one. If the document gets leaked, you know who did it - the typos form a "signature". Sometimes a typo is just a typo though.
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoEverybody involved gets a slightly different unique version of a document. It would be clumsy to do it with typos, better to change the justification.
