One is useful. The other is, at best, masturbatory.
Now always. If a political discussion can uncover likely threat models, then there's some distinct usefulness. Also, the politics of dis-intelligence is also useful. Those worries about super-quantum-TEMPEST is a good example: "Oh don't you bother with your cute lil' crypto systems, because we can just watch you at your keyboard anyway..." So if there's some way to modify "write code" to include "code-impacting political discussion", then I agree, but I also agree it still gets rather masturbatory. But then again, it's not like any male has ever wanted to masturbate before... -TD
