Default Re: Counter intelligence projects?

Hmmmmm.

I'd like to give a number of hypothetical situations with my conception of the results for the experts to comment on.

Hypothetical situation #1:

The AI's mount a truly massive intel assault which will take almost all of the counter-intelligence points in to withstand.

Intelligence points available for distribution is 10,000

In order of completion with divide points evenly off:
1) Intelligence project - crew insurrection, 5,000 points to complete.
2) Intelligence project - steal technology - 5,000 points to complete
3) Counter-intelligence3
4) Counter-intelligence3
5) counter-intelligence3

In this scenario, counter-intelligence is dormant and all AI operations succeed.

Hypothetical 2 is the same as hypothetical 1 except that Divide points evenly" is on. In this scenario, the enemy intelligence assault does not succeed.

Hypothetical 3 is the same as hypothetical 1 except that the intelligence points available for distribution is 10,001. In this scenario, 3) would be used up to partially withstand the AI intelligence assault. But would 4) and 5) also be used up to withstand the AI intel assault or would they remain dormant thereby allowing the AI intelligence assault to partially succeed?
