The overall impression though, with linkages between those main items,
contained a thrust which could largely be interpreted as DP and impacting on
individual privacy to some extend.
New knowledge would not generally be presented fully as it seems to normally
be generated quietly before being disseminated for further reflection or

Awareness and consideration of wider issues may inform but should not define
the outcomes or other inherent issues arising from private considerations.
If they did individual effort would be worth nothing.
