After reading the relevant articles, what I liked most about this
high-school debate club-style masterpiece was the white-knighting.
First, Soghoian mentions Norton's white-knighting for non-“mostly rich
1st world white boys w/ no real problems” wrt. crypto development. And
then, Singel white-knights for Norton, accusing Soghoian of sexism, of
all things! I think that this transitive white-knighting qualifies as
ironic.
