"Any asymmetrically weaker entity would, in principle, be able to dig into any aspect of the system. But such an entity would be incapable of grokking the whole system, at least as well as the army of lawyers, accountants, auditors, programmers, etc. who worked on behalf of the cabal. "
Such a Beast will be slow moving. All those people need to be motivated to clarify and then solve some problem posed to them. But, it's surely true that the very best experts in something have been employed doing that thing for decades, and that small organizations can't afford to support that. The SEA `researchers' are surely eclipsed by the NSA researchers across many dimensions. That doesn't many there aren't asymmetric opportunities. Groking a big system isn't just a question of insisting on interfaces owned and implemented by 3rd parties. Interfaces are the easy part, IMO.
