Dr dear Dr: Why are CSAs or Church Secret Agents called Peter Knotts?

Overtly for a simple historical reason in that one of the more prominent CSAs of modern times was based at Eton College as a former tutor and chaplain there and he was called Peter Knott, a former Royal Navy man who converted to Catholicism in the service and then was picked up and elevated by the cunning and canny Jesuit orders, eventually to be elevated by the local Bishop of the Zone near Windsor Castle and thuswise to become chaplain at Eton, the foundation of Henry VI just across the bridge over the River Thames. But the CSAs are often called Knotts chiefly because they are often described as such with a double negative - Not CIA, Not Mossad, Not MI6, Not C-4, and so on and so on. They are affirmed in the denial more than the strong assertion of contro-interessati typology. CSAs are thuswise normally alluded to or hinted at in some background way through a whole host of double negatives - not this, not that, not the other. But for this reason, they are sometimes regarded as the damp squibs of the various and variegated and volitional secret services, and known to be somewhat boring, boorish, and barrister-like, such is their reliance on the laws of international relations. A damp squib, but necessary for the maintenance of world peace. As their founder and master once said in the 7th Beatitude - “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God.”
