It could have been incompetence, yes... Or it could have been someone who knew this would slip by the Trump loyalists and end up getting published.

If anyone like me was looking for proof this is actually possible in the files:
Broe's video showed him copying several paragraphs from one document in the DOJ's Epstein library/2022.03.17-1%20Exhibit%201.pdf) from the "Court Records" section. While the paragraph Broe selected includes several redactions, all of the redactions were removed after Broe pasted the paragraph in question into a Word document. AlterNet was able to confirm that that specific document's redactions could be read in Word, as well as in Mac's Pages application and in Google Docs.
It might be a choreographed “gotcha” too. Like they intentionally made the documents like that so people would think they found out The Big Secret and stop pushing for other files that could still be completely hidden. Idk though, it also seems really generous to think this administration could do anything that smart.

A single junior analyst causing such a breach of redacted information would still point towards incompetence on an organisational level. This should really be something every person who works in publishing documents with redacted informations should be trained to spot.

Working IT, it's impressive how many people don't understand basic computer functions. Even young people who grew up with technology. I impressed someone by fixing something by quitting and relaunching an app the other day. C'mon…
For those who don't know, the title of the post refers to an error code, ID-Ten-Tee, meaning IDIOT.

Even young people who grew up with technology.
There is now a middle sweet spot of computer literacy that spans Gen X and Millennials. When you go younger than that, you start running into people who never owned a normal computer growing up and only ever used smartphones/tablets.
By making devices simple enough for grandma to use, we inadvertently fostered a new generation of people who are as computer literate as grandma.

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
This is the crazy thing. This is some kind of invocation of Poe's Law around Hanlon's Razor. I want to believe this is someone on the inside resisting, but we've already seen so many examples of this administration's gross incompetence that I don't feel certain of that. It's this real incompetence? Or resistance as a parody of that incompetence?
