          Trained in an engineering discipline that demands pedantic exactitude, and in which computer code is either absolutely right, or absolutely wrong, many software engineers find the nuances and ambiguity of political practice hard to understand. They hear the official statements of principle that our leaders make on TV, and contrast them with the grubby reality of modern counter-terrorism: a grubby reality in which they are deeply implicated..

                Nail on the head, hit.
                Most IT types are hugely limited outside their narrow domains.

                    Most professionals are as that is what being a professional is all about. Try mentioning Accountants without remembering Monty Pythons assassination of them.

                    Now lets do a short pithy summation of your average Polico (who don't forget is NOT a professional and can get the 'job' without any certified qualifications or experience).

                    Their basic assumption is that if you can't win, cheat.
