And last but not least, the biggest gaping hole in Shining's plan, which this episode highlighted in awesome way, was an issue of implicit trust. The system is only as secure as its weakest link. No matter the system, it is always designed to allow access to some people/ponies/creatures because what's the point of building a system nobody can access?, so it doesn't matter how intricate countermeasures one applies, if an authorised person decides to hand you their keys alternatively you could steal them, that's what they done with the Royal Guard Medal then it's all but over.
Social engineering proved to be the most effective tactic yet again and claimed its crop. If someone whom the entire protection system is built around decides to play against your team, you already lost before the game even begun. Flawless victory.
