It seems to be written from the assumption that the
intended meaning of  "breaching experiment" has something to do with
security tests rather than the kind of sociological experiment described
at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaching_experiment . Is that really
the case?

Kind regards,

I agree.  What they really seemed to be conducting was "covert
security vulnerability testing".  Thing is, the project wasn't given
enough time for people like you and me to improve it, even down to how
it should be named.  Jimmy Wales decided that it was out of scope, and
that anyone who disagreed with him was subject to punishment.
Ironically, it became a "breaching experiment", considering that
outcome.
