This feels pretty much like a personal attack. It feels to me like you are losing the argument, so trying to undermine my credibility.

I completely disagree with your assessment that I've made factual errors. At the very least, the replies you are receiving show that there is a fair amount of disagreement on this.

I'd note that you chose not to respond to my points about the link you posted.

But since you've decided to show such an interest in me, check my comment history and you'll see my position on this. Here's a previous comment[1] from 3 years ago (before I started in my current job) where I though that PRISM is actually a reporting system (and that explains why the reporting is pretty confused). I think I was wrong about that comment - it does cover the collection process too. But at the time there was a great deal of confusion - read the thread[2]. The context is important - it was on a story where Google denied any involvement in PRISM.
