This is something else. Basic rationality demands that we not treat something as truth until we have evidence of it.
The existence of bad actors does not mean an abandonment of critical thinking! Critical thinking in this case tells us that compromising a git repo is a horrible idea, mostly because even if you broke SHA and even if you managed to slip the code in undetected, the jig is up the moment somebody makes a conflicting change in that file, wonders what's going on, and then discovers that the server copy does not jibe with the local copy.
But we can't blindly defend governments, agencies or countries and attack someone just because their opinion or ideia doesn't fit on the "official version".
There is also a big deference between what I did (considering the ability to do something) and accuse them of doing something. You don't need evidence to think if they can or not do it.
