Pentagon had nada to do with a Pinto or Hubble. But last thing I checked - the folks building drones and the ones that built 747s - or the F22 that plays prankish jokes on it's pilots when it takes a notion - those folks ALL put on their slacks one leg at a time. This - your eminence - is to say that these contrivances were all conceived and constructed by mere mortals (you excepted, of course).

Save your lectures henceforth. I've had all the "learnin'" I can absorb for one day. I realize and openly acknowlege when I'm intellecktually hacked. As you've assured us, US military drones are absolutely infallible!
