« The Critical Engineer considers the exploit to be the most desirable form of exposure »

From this statement, I understand that the Critical Engineer wants to expose a third party and that their preferred method for doing so would be to expose a scandal in which this same third party used exploitation to achieve their ends. This links to #5, where the Critical Engineer questions dependency on a technology. Here the Critical Engineer questions the kind of technology we depend on.

I recently read an intriguing book, “Black Holes, Worm Holes and Time Machines” which states that the Physicists greatest ambition is not to prove a very important theorem, but rather to disprove a very important theorem. Upon reading the tenth and last of the tenants of the Critical Engineer I was struck by just how similar the statements are. Both would rather expose a fundamental problem with a system rather than put a new system in place. Both would rather be the Einstein, who put forth a theorem or series of theorums) which technically cannot be proven but which proved our model and understanding of the universe to be but a simplistic and false explanation which is now only used in middle schools, and whose theorem now acts as our best-functioning model of the universe. Or even the Isaac Newton who shook the ecclesiastic world in his time with his discovery that the Earth orbited the sun, rather than itself being the center of the universe.
