Wow, I didn't realise that commonality. I'll have to think this through for a bit.
I'm plainly trying to understand my strategic environment. The question isn't really that much of an abstraction from reality. I currently work in politics (but I'm not a politician nor work for the hypothetical senator).
I was especially thinking of a previous comment (maybe in another open thread) about a hypothetical PhD researcher working for industry but interested in revealing some confidential information later on. Having seen that comment which seemed to lack awareness of the kinds of legal agreements that are made in such cases, when I saw this one I wondered whether it was another "outsider" hypothetical with a more general goal.
I work in research, not in politics so I can't offer any suggestions on this one.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
