I don't think a little typo ("Administration") weakens his argument. I think this post is more of a thought experiment than a serious analysis of what most likely happened.

Though I agree that over the past few years, Schneier's posts have been less substantial in analysis and contain more "thought experiments". I enjoyed his blog way more when it was restricted to the subject he has expertise in, i.e. cryptography.

I don't really think he was going the thought experiment route. He seems to genuinely believe what he writes. For example:

"The NSA was most likely able to penetrate Hacking Team's network and steal the same data. The agency probably did it years ago."

Nothing too ambiguous about that assertion.
