It's not about doing it in an orderly way, it's about doing it on purpose.

If I'm upset and download a bunch of documents onto a flash drive and send it to a person that is nice to me, and it just so happens that in amongst the hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous documents is some scrap of evidence of wrongdoing, it doesn't make me a hero for doing it.

If on the other hand I find that evidence and expose it purposefully because I have principles, that's another story.

Intent has meaning when you're defending a person's actions.
