* StrawmanHasAPoint: Greg Hale comments on how TRANSLTR would make all government resistance futile by allowing a tyrannical government to snoop on any of their communications unimpeded, which Susan brushes off as a {{Logical Fallacy}}. Except the only thing stopping the government from doing so, needing to get a court order to use TRANSLTR on any given email address, was scrapped ''right after it was made''. There is no safeguard that would stop a future government from abusing the power TRANSLTR grants them.

* DesignatedHero: The NSA. They have access to almost all the world’s online encrypted information within a few minutes thanks to TRANSLTR who’s only safeguard, judicial process, was scrapped right after it was made. The only people who have a problem with any of this are Greg Hale, who’s treated as a fallacious idiot, and Ensei Tankado, who in his attempts to save people from TRANSLTR, had his whole reputation ruined by the NSA.
* DesignatedVillain: Ensei Tankado. His only crimes are attempting to stop the NSA from getting away with unrestricted access to information thanks to TRANSLTR’s only limit being processing time by notifying the world and [[spoiler: giving the NSA the ultimatum of either announcing TRANSLTR’s existence to the world or having all their files go public in an ironic twist.]]

"Idiot Plot" is now Flame Bait.

* IdiotPlot: Second order variety, thanks to the critical research failures. For one thing, there was no evidence that the "Digital Fortress" code even existed in the first place.

Internet Backdraft is now Flame Bait and being dewicked per TRS.

* InternetBackdraft: When the book was finally published in Spain following the success of ''Literature/TheDaVinciCode'', Spaniard critics and readers were outraged because of Creator/DanBrown's depictions of Seville's hospitals. He described them as something closer to a Third World country in the middle of a civil war than to Spain, which has one of the best public healthcare systems in the world. [[DanBrowned The fact that Brown claimed to have studied in the city for a while made things even worse]].
