You can't tell for sure. For all you know, you could argue that I (Zeev)
might be an undercover Bin Laden agent, in one of the most successful
undercover missions in history, trying to bring down the entire

I gather that someone committing legitimate patches may still be a hacker,
but the likelihood goes down, significantly.
