Not to speak to the believability of the PPT, but people often fallaciously invoke Occam's razor to dismiss complex facts beyond their comprehension or personal experience. e.g., when trying to explain a lack of concern with security protocols when it comes to online activities (strong passwords, encryption, etc), it's easy for the uninitiated to claim that comprehensive attacks would take so much effort to plan, execute and conceal that their very existence is preposterous and unlikely... while any hacker will tell you that this sort of abject complacency is the basis of social engineering and a majority of exploits.

I'm sure it's the same with any good crime or successful conspiracy. Otherwise, you might as well be arguing that any complex crime is impossible to execute without being detected.]]>
