A lot of these kind of things we seen in news these days is a result of a highly networked society colliding with a hierarchical administration/governance system. A typical college management or government is designed to take orders from top. A persons ability to make decisions and process information is not often correlated with this position. But in this real world a 16 year old can beat a 50 years on basis of pure merit. As a society we are adapted to it but governments and management practices haven't. So when a teen calls up to report a security hole the lower level of administration panics.
