Subject: Re: ELON! With Sorkin
A sophisticated operator would have written a script - code, if you will - to do just that.

But they didn't. They created an account. Which is what people do on Twitter if they want to use the service - they access it through an ordinary account, not through any special code or script. They weren't trying to be a "sophisticated operator."

If you write out code to access the Twitter service, instead of creating an account, you might be able do things that aren't always possible within an ordinary account. But MM didn't do that. Why did you think they did?
