My point exactly... he points to the hacking of a US Intelligence Office (or some possibly made-up bureau) and insinuates that that somehow constitutes evidence of these rogue chips... but, as far as I know, anytime we've been hacked by the Chinese, it's been through software exploits (that were exploitable by anyone else, even those without knowledge of said "rogue chips") and has nothing to do with the "activation of rogue microchips which are embedded within OTHER microchips that phoned home to the Chinese allowing them access to the computers systems they were trying to hack."

Great theory; extremely poor execution on the explanation and evidence part.
