No argument here.

This approach, on the other hand, shows a distinct lack of both finesse
and a sense of humor.  A real hacker would manage to infiltrate the
meeting and mess with the feeds.  Replace the video with a porn feed.
Dub Chomsky over the audio.  Randomly insert "fnord" into the audio
stream.  Have Banker One tell Banker Two, "Your mother is syphilitic
whore."

The list of possibilities is endless.
