I'm not sure that a hallucinated image of something is better than the original image when you're doing spywork. The difference between whether someone has 4 or 5 fingers, whether they're holding a gun versus a random object,

Exactly, the NHS is only going downhill because the dominant ideology among MPs has been that the NHS is the first place to get gutted for cheap savings. A lot of very efficient systems were removed and farmed out for "cheaper" pr
