"That is, of course, the party line, which is only believed by complete 
idiots," Judge Fang said. "In any case, returning to your previous statement, 
we have established that over the next eight years, Node 178 did a prosperous 
business—as you said, processing tuples. During this time
you worked your way up the hierarchy to the tenth level. Then you claim to have 
severed your connection with CryptNet and gone into business for yourself, as a 
mediagrapher. Since then, you have specialized in war zones. Your photo, cine, 
and sound collages from the battlegrounds of China have won prizes and been 
accessed by hundreds of thousands of media consumers, though your work is so 
graphic and disturbing that mainstream acceptance has eluded you."
