The truth is;
What we are told is happening is also a subterfuge to those who would attempt to reverse engineer:
Business achievements are often to be seen a dubious.
Academics societies also often blow their own achievements out of proportion : often their achievements are new to them but often commonly known. not everyone can afford to solidify their achievements by paying to attend an academic society and submit it as a final project and subsequently get an accolade.
The bag of words / Word2Vectors seemed to work and yet it was unknown how it was working. Yet academia accepted it the researcher himself actually did not know why it was working. it was not until others was using the technique that they was able to correctly explain it. this actually shows that the knowledge was borrowed. but academia claimed it and awarded the accolade.
The military often make great achievements but unless it has military application it may even be put away. the technology eventually finds its way to the public as weapons are often reverse engineered. (MILITARY UFOS) are now becoming hard to hide ; the drone design has been there for many years and is not new. it has just been put in the public marketplace. now we can see it is possible to fly sideways..... so ufos are not really that strange.
The public also make achievements and discoveries but never get their accolade unless the join with businesses:
The problem is that neither of these communities are really talking ; the business people get academics.... the military get academics. but nobody can get from the military. showing the military as the head of technological achievements: secret science!
This is why you-tube / wiki-pedia etc are subversive to the military as information which can be financially exploited or military exploited. or propagandised. is freely available; the only way they can block you is by trimming your search results.
As i travel i often search for the same things on the inter-web if find that each country has a different set of search results.... is this a way to control knowledge? Are some results omitted?
Hmm.
