    Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I wonder if this is a joke about Kim Philby and the Cambridge Five.

            "Secretly", given that they were really, really bad at being spies. And yet they got a great deal of intelligence which USSR analysts disregarded because they assumed no nation could be stupid enough to fall for these dorks.
