So, first off, I appreciate the link - it's a good article. But it seems to suggest that there is no firm right or wrong in it's usage, but rather the context of the usage is what's important. Would you not agree that the usage in this context makes it clear that 5ESS is referring to "if it was [United Statesian's] cameras being hacked"?

Context is subjective, precision is universal. I (perhaps wrongly) don't think of HN as a USA-centric site based upon USA-centric discussion - I think of it as a global community - so my context expectations are set accordingly. But obviously, others may think differently.

Understood, appreciate the discussion and the point of view. I've learned something from this!

Thank you - likewise appreciated, and points acknowledged. The gulfs between Technically Correct and Socially Correct are ever grounds for debate, but mutual understanding wins the day.
