If we can learn anything from the spook shops, it's this: Never be 100% confident that you have figured out what the other guys are doing. They call their sphere of operations a 'wilderness of mirrors' for good reason; creating and penetrating multiple layers of deception and misdirection is an all day every day thing over there. Regular folks believe there are things called "facts" and call cognitive bias and logical fallacies "common sense." Spook shops train their inmates to recognize and /try/ to avoid these habits, while exploiting them in others.
