Ego + Espionage = Death
Taking other well-known identities:
Silence = Death
Energy = Mass x Speed-o-Light^2
and the assumption that the energy of one's ego cannot exceed one's
maximum potential energy (which has great explanatory powers re. the
Limbaugh Effect).
I get:
Silence = Ego + Espionage
<= MC^2 + Espionage
solving for Espionage,
Espionage >= Silence - MC^2
which raises some interesting points:
1. Espionage can be measured in existing SI units, thus
2. Espionage is a creation of the French
Item 2 is supported by the following etymology
espionage (es pi o nage; es p <y3> <en> <x2> <en> n <adi> azh <y1>, -
nij, es
