Mission Impossible 1 movie:
Kittridge: Well, for a little over two years we have been spotting serious blowback in IMF operations. We have a penetration.
despite all of IMF's fancy counterintelligence resources (to find out what the enemy knows) -- field agents with lots of guns and explosives and disguises and gadgets -- Max's mischief was uncovered by a bean counter, a statistician, a desk jockey. we imagine him or her poring over mission reports, applying a statistical model of "blowback" (this is difficult), and concluding that observed is statistically significantly higher than expected.
give that agent a raise.
what is the probability of malice versus incompetence? if an IMF agent fails to make a motorcycle jump over a helicopter, was it because of incompetence, or because the enemy helicopter pilot was tipped off by a penetration to fly a little bit higher?
