Adams is right on.

Some time long agon when we were anticipating the impact of increasing transparency on society, I speculated that we would get better at detecting corruption (ja) and that we would become more tolerant of the low-level stuff (double ja.)

We have now the ability to archive so many things that our leading candidates have done wrong, and instant notification when they do, but I way underestimated how tolerant we would become of corruption.  

The current situation where we have good evidence that one of the leading candidates compromised highly classified information yet still hasn't been indicted is a scary example.
