or Forts are prisons with the key on the inside.
Ton Zylstra picked up on the Connecting the Dots piece from yesterday and gets it in spades. Go and read Washingtonian Information Strategies Kneejerking, damn, I wish i had written that. Especially this bit.
The examples above have this aura of clumsiness, because those involved don't seem to notice that their actions are the information now, not the information they are acting upon. The changes to Wikipedia don't result in the desired changes to pages, but instead create a pattern of strange changes from Washingtonian IP addresses in the history of each page. Those on the lookout for patterns, not singular info pieces, trigger on this, and as a result just start looking more intensely at that you wished to take out of the equation.
He also touches on our responses to failing strategies and how they get that way. Of which more anon.
And I just love "Forts are prisons with the key on the inside".
