I guess if "everything we need to know" is that social behavior measurable over narrow windows of time.   If, as you say, Snowden is a `dork', then it should have been a simple matter to predict his behavior and stop it.   But it is not so simple because people don't reveal themselves in such overt ways.   They may only reveal some dimensions and those dimensions may to a significant extent just be performance.
