  Hm. Is that Websters definition of "clearly", meaning "easy to perceive, understand, or interpret", or HN's definition, as in "it's clear someone or some agency got to the developers and they just pulled the ejection seat for their own legal protection"?

    I was hoping the italics spoke for themselves, but I'd better clarify it's the latter. It seems to be an Internet-wide phenomenon to jump to the most bombastic possible conclusion given a limited set of facts.
