I actually thought the opposite. A lot of these federal positions are military. So I assumed it was some enlisted guy out of high school that didn't want a desk job but wants to be firing guns. He's been doing it years and wants out. He's not invested in any of this analysis. Compared to the guy that self-selected to sign up for an analysis website as a hobby. He finds it fun to think and analyze. He gets points for being right and has a score to improve. The other factor is workloads. If a CIA analyst has to make X decisions in Y time, then they may be rushing. I read this story as a failure of federal services to reward successful performers and remove failing performers.
