The maximum distance between Earth and Mars is only 22 light minutes, so any new public technology will be known by the other planet within around 22 minutes, and any secret technology will be known within the time it takes a spy to find it (same as on Earth) + 22 minutes. I don’t see a 22 minute technology gap causing the problems the article claims.
