PTSD can have huge impact on memory, even well beyond any traumatic events. I would dare say this might be one of the more defining aspects of PTSD for many.

I trust the top comment is reasonable in saying it’s impossible off a documentarian to know the full story. This is a highly classified operation of aggression from one nation state to another.

There is so much that will never be revealed, it’s naive to think someone, even the most skilled investigative journalists, could “do their research” and get the full story. There are likely still state-sponsored espionage efforts trying to fully understand how Stuxnet happened and if there exist similar capabilities or plans against other infrastructure.

If you’ve never worked with classified information it’s easy to think that everything known by the government just eventually becomes public, but SCI programs like this maybe only have a dozen people or less in the world who understand the whole picture, and a few dozen or hundred more who only know part of it.

The funny thing is that the fundamental observation that these are similar makes sense. Both currents follow the easiest paths to lower potential energy states. It turns out that looks pretty similar whether it’s electricity or water. I’m not sure how you take it to “rivers must have been formed by electricity” though.
