    Interesting to note the question had the answer all along. How would a modest effort outrun a vast organisation?

    I never imagined he’d be caught by that mistake.

    I used CDC computers 1986-92. They sucked, and CDC employees could not comprehend that they sucked. They had convinced themselves that their alternate universe was real.
