Mind you, it shows what numbskulls your CIA/NASa etc. are.

Perhaps, but I'm sure your own MI5, MI6, whatever, aren't far behind.

All "intelligence" operations are basically incredibly stupid.

It's like Bullwinkle J. Moose so famously said years ago:

"Military intelligence? Duh ... isn't that a contradiction in terms?"

(Yes, he really did say that.)
