Actually Fitz the outsider in the FBI caught the outsider Ted because he understood him. Not a blunder, but rather an historic lesson in positive contributions made by outsiders. Ted's mistake was turning his brilliance (especially considering the FB scandal) to terrorism rather than social justice like MLK.
The story of Fritz and his relationship to Ted is one of the great unknown stories of history. It's a relationship on a level of complexity that most people will never understand.
Not if one knows about The Mind of War...
