Silly, you didn't read the Ultraviolet memo that states that sometimes Danny
makes WP:OFFICE actions under double-super-secret background, which are
tagged only by the Ultraviolet WP:OFFICE tag. If you do not have Ultraviolet
clearance, any reversions or contestations of Ultraviolet
Double-Super-Secret Background actions will be grounds for immediate
termination. Of course, if you do not have Ultraviolet clearance, you cannot
see the Ultraviolet WP:OFFICE tag.

Finally, only those with Ultraviolet clearance are allowed knowledge of the
Ultraviolet authorization level. So far as you are concerned Ultraviolet
clearance does not exist, the above statements notwithstanding.
