    The speaker was generalizing. From his perspective it is silly to worry
    about physical threats to this information because (1) the information is so
    widely distributed as to be immune to almost any physical attack, (2) the
    infrastructure supporting these patterns would not provoke an attack since
    it is insignificant in the sense of posing a threat to others or competing
    for limited resources, (2) the probability is vanishingly small that an
    intelligence evolved enough to be capable would carry out such an immoral
    destructive act.
