I did not have any specific case in mind, and undoubtedly you are now going to nitpick at me and tell me that there are no cases like that.
I meant it as a throw-away example of harm that could conceivably be caused by Hacker Panic to emphasis the absurd difference between the severity of Hacker Panic and the severity of the War on Terror.

The observation that there may not be any teenagers that have spent a decade in custody, let alone several, is not a nitpick on that claim. By way of comparison, Kevin Mitnick, a high-profile serial-offending adult about whom multiple books were written, spent 5 years in prison.

This is entirely non-material to the point I am making. Frankly, if anything, it strengthens it. You are nitpicking.
