Is he really? I’ve read Schneier for years and I don’t get any vibes off Moody. For example, Moody espouses all sorts of complicated theories which are the sort of ‘movie plots’ that Schneier derides.
If anyone, I think Mad Eye is James Jesus Angleton, or possibly Moody is an ‘anti-Schneier’. (Personally, I think Eliezer is simply exaggerating Moody in the spirit of I’ll-show-you-true-constant-vigilance!)
Well, what would Schiner be like with the Eye of Vance? When you can easily protect yourself from non-movie-plot problems through magic coupled with amazing situational awareness, the movie-plot problems get to be what’s left (not to mention that the wizarding world seems to breed movie-plot villians).
And Mad Eye is Bruce Schneier.
