My three comments were at the start and end of the OP as follows:
'The home of the 1960's spies seems to have struck again.'
'I wonder, sometimes, what young fertile minds learn at these great academies of learning,'
and,
'so there it is it's up for discussion.'
Take out the comment on spies, which is beyond dispute, the second part is a question and the third part invites participants to discuss the matter.
So, my question has been answered and the subject has certainly been well discussed.
At this point, I think this 'silly old fool' will go for his morning shower before starting on his more mundane tasks of the day followed by the Match at 3 pm.
