Math study indicates probabilities of conspiracies being revealed

[John Bailey]

This is kinda interesting for P-readers - a mathematician has claimed
to have worked out the statistical probability of a conspiracy being
blown by one of its members. Part of the equation is essentially the
inherent vice of conspiracies ("the intrinsic probability of a
conspiracy failing") which he works out by examining real conspiracies
such as PRISM and the Tuskegee experiments.

But, of course, all of this distracts us from the fact that statistics
are all a conspiracy, man!
