Yep, good write-up overall.

I never liked the "panic level" rating, or at least the numbers. It seems
rather arbitrary. As much as folks dislike binary MRC, for example, I
wouldn't even put it in the same ballpark as the management engine since
the ME is an always-on, persistent, non-ISA blob with similar access
capabilities. Scoring them one point apart at the top of a scale from 1 to
"9000+" seems to diminish those important distinctions.
