Yes. In previous comments I have pointed out, probably annoyingly so, that psychopaths and other predators can and do alter a good but failing system in ways that serve them or their purposes. I didn't have the language then, but criminality and its evil twin, subversion, were what I was attempting to get to. Now at last you have the language for it! Well done, Martin! Now we are dealing with what I *think* are all the factors. Overall, your analysis method will now be able to see proper function, failing function, criminal function, and subverted function, and perhaps be able to provide a way to x-ray an entire institution or system to give enough information to say which of these four situations are in play (possibly more than one, as subversion encourages criminality/corruption and feeds on failure). I'm stoked, dude!

Corrupting/subverting/replacing the truth with lies that look as much like the truth as possible is the devil's mode of operation. Your work Martin is helping us to see more clearly the real battle of good vs evil which usually maneuvers in dark, unseen places. Thx for bringing the battle more into the light for us to see and know is real. Keep pressing forward. I cant wait to see what you share with us next.

Enjoyed this insight. Does Martin or other readers see Martin's insight as a way to better understand the term, "weaponized" something (medicine, law, etc.)?
