Yes, every time this is mentioned someone comes up with some through-the-eye way of "how this is actually very brilliant and you are too stupid to see it".

And then another leak happens, and there they are, the gaudy PowerPoint slides, the shitty Java enterprise software, the scuffed up abominations of open source tools, none of the supposed magic is anywhere to be found.

No, I'm sure the real magic is just really well hidden!

The NSA actually shamelessly 'stole' the prism logo off the web:

Now it appears they're issuing a takedown for someone trying to sell a few t-shirts featuring it:

Hardly inspires confidence does it...? :-)
