Now, the only thing missing is the NSA's private dictionary that defines their interpretations of, "the world," "internet traffic," "monitor," "review," and so on. They have already established that they use these terms in highly specific and non-standard ways, so taking their word for anything automatically accepts their framing and leaves the word-taker out in the cold by definition. We aren't in the club, they don't want to tell us, so their numbers mean nothing.
