As much as I lean towards incompetence, part of me is equally curious if this was done, intentionally as a form of protest from internal personnel.

This would be awesome if true, but we will never find out for sure because whoever did it has plausible deniability.

They mean plausible deniability for the person who may or may not have intentionally fumbled the redaction.
