Air gapping PCs won't stop data sharing thanks to sneaky speakers

"How do you get the malware on the air gapped pc in the first place? The point of air gapping a pc is that it never touches the internet, ever"

The problem with that is it only takes one person to make a mistake, and the Malware is in the system. Stuxnet got into a secure Nuclear facility. From what I understand, all it took was for a Siemens engineer to open an infected document on his laptop at home, then plug the laptop into the secure network. Even just plugging a USB into an infected computer, then into an airgapped computer is entirely possible.
