86. She says it's possible - you say it is in principal impossible
There's be no need to "fundamentally change" the way data is processed - no-one but you claims that's necessary. All that's needed is to monitor the data and have some point to inject data. The former is trivial to do without anyone ever noticing (save for quantum encrypted communications), the latter is also quite possible once you get 'down to the metal' of computer network technology, it's called "spoofing" (essentially: manipulation of the contents of data packets) and is certainly within the capabilities of Ptech/Goagile. A target computer does not have to be connected directly to the manipulating computer - as petgoat points out: "Even if they are not networked together, if each of them is networked to a third computer that has read/write capabilities with both machines, then they can share data even though they "don't" and even though their operators don't know they do."

I suppose you don't believe reports that the wargames on 9-11 involved 'fake' radar blips (alongside some "live" operations). It only makes sense that capability exists or else every exercise would have to be completely "live" instead of simulated.
