The Germans managed the Battle of the Bulge even after the Allies broke
Enigma. I haven't heard there was any call for stringing Alan Turing up
from a tree at the time...

You expect perfection Phil - you aren't going to get it. Especially after
the NYT revealed the existence of the program. Think of what would have
