What are the chances that someone inside Sony hacked themselves in order to gin up publicity for this?

Absolutely zero percent.

Looks like it's not "zero percent" after all:

There's literally nothing in that article that leads me to believe that my claim is incorrect.

So you know with 100 percent certainty that it was North Korea?

North Korea is now threatening to attack The White House, The Pentagon, etc. if Obama retaliates for the hack.

Seth Rogen, what have you done?

And yet they still haven't claimed responsibility for the original attack.

Lol. Now that they've kicked up a massive stink over it and guaranteed martyrdom for what would otherwise be a mediocre pos they're going to take advantage. Meanwhile were still waiting for the culprits to be identified. Hopefully it won't take as long as mh370.

This pretty much sums up how I feel about the whole thing.

One (pedantic) concern I had was the post's identification of North Korea as Confucian, and then immediately citing the Sunzi Bingfa in support of that.  The Sunzi Bingfa was a militarist and not a Confucian text.

Quite true.
