Ok, ok. Let's get honest here.

Bloggers exaggerate. And commenters like to point that out. Sometimes I hear that commenters even like to overreact to things.

Got it.

Now, I've been following this issue. I did not know about this committee. I daresay I could pull 100 hackers from a room and most of them wouldn't know of it either.

So for purposes of "legal people", yes, you are correct. What a overstatement! But that's not the audience here, and the headline works -- and it is not an exaggeration.

If you're a lawyer, this committee is probably common knowledge.

I'd bet 99 out of 100 non-lawyers wouldn't have a clue about this group of people.
