Nope, no theory at all. Just providing some context for people who might not be as familiar with that book and the authors, and some of the questions that have been raised about it.

I know that the book makes a much bigger deal out of Mitnick than is reasonable (Mitnick was basically the consummate script kid). But I also know that scenesters of the time hated Markoff and thought he was, like, an enemy of the scene.
