True. But don't worry, you needn't understand it. Politicians will simply imply there is a mystical, abstract, and ultimately unidentifiable computer magic at play here and your unsexy explanation is "conspiracy nonsense".

Dumb bums at home will smile and nod as they find "glitches" relatable because of that one time their phone wouldn't get out of landscape mode until they rebooted.

"I don't understand it! It's MAGIC!" :D

Smart people think smart people are regular people who think a bit longer or concentrate a bit better. Stupid people think smart people are sorcerers. Just look at how Sherlock is written through the ages, you can tell the intelligence of the writers by how much his skills become left-field-sorcery.

MSM abuse this fact to no end. "This is a smart person problem, it involves arcane knowledge, so not only will we not explain it, we won't even cover it, and we'll belittle anyone who tries to bring it up, because it's a smart person problem, and smart persons are already there, and due to their warlock pact, smart persons are incapable of being wrong ever... So long as we get to define who is smart."
