    1,000 people is a lot to involve in the coverup.
    The more people involved the more likely it is that someone spills the details.

      My thoughts exactly, although we do have a whistleblower to back up the ‘they were simply that stupid’ theory it also does seem too good to be true.

        Did they do their darnedest to pick only people who are true believers? No doubt. Is that a property that’s perfectly ascertainable and immutable? Absolutely not.

        The number of people increases the difficulty of hiding a conspiracy, but so does the time scale. I suspect we’ll know a lot more than we do now in 20 years about this, for whatever that’s worth.
