Only now I realized another point with the scientists: government staff, especially those who are part of the military, are extensively indoctrinated to view following orders as a supreme good and disobedience as an unacceptable crime. Even if we are to assume they all had the same lack of morality as an average magus, it is still implausible that they would break that indoctrination and even more so that the superiors who gave them the order would do nothing about it. I\\\'ve worked with the military personally (albeit in a much more banal manner), and they keep a very tight leash on their people. I suppose they could have all kept it secret from the top brass somehow, but that seems implausible in its own right. Someone would have had to slip up eventually, especially given the many ways the US government can spy on its citizens.
