gollark: Your 99% figure is nonsensical since you can't tell what you don't know in much detail.
gollark: You only got 84% of the ones we *deliberately* allowed you to know about.

gollark: Oh yes, your """secure""" and ""impossible to manipulate"""" logging.
gollark: Swapping out the relevant n-space positions in its internal registers and translocating you was trivial.
