Just so everyone knows, OSINT is Open Source INTelligence.

Quoting from an article:

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is an intelligence discipline that generates insight from publicly available information. The sources from this information come from traditional media like newspapers, magazines, radio shows, and television, as well as overhead imagery, photos, and specialized publications like think-tank studies and journal articles.

So when he says theories are running wild in the OSINT community, it means jack squat. People who can read and have eyeballs have some opinions. Ok, cool.

When SIGINT confirms it, then it's real.
