Elliot attributes Kim's success as a double agent to his exceptional ability to befriend people. The real Philby said, in a speech given to the KGB, that the main reason he went undetected for so long was due to classism: the British establishment was, in his view, unable to conceive that someone like him, born and raised in the elite class of empire, would turn against that system and aid the communists.
