I think this is probably right for how Epstein in particular was solving (that segment of) the problem. It’s not the only solution, and I do think the rest of the solution space warrants exploration. In particular it isn’t the solution that scales the fastest with the least overhead, and if you’re doing new conspiracies every week you are obliged to be efficient about it. I’m also expecting that the solution space will include explanations for some ‘vice signalling’ or similar bragging behaviour around things one would normally be motivated to be totally silent about.
