I had upvoted this story because it was well-written.
And then a news story came on, about a man being sought as a "person of interest" in a string of arson fires in California, as he has been seen on surveillance videos leaving the scene just before several of those fires. And it occurred to me that if the Foundation were trying to eradicate evidence and witnesses of an event, and one witness was able to stay a step or two ahead for a while, it might look just exactly like that…
Pity I can't upvote it again now.
