When it comes to the strategy of compartmentalization, I suppose the reader (and/or author) just didn't need to know.
...
If large or significant conspiracies are too big not to fail (as this study claims), then please, let's at least call for an end to all covert operations within the CIA, NSA, FBI, etc... and their private contractors we pay for. 
...
Beyond the glaring omission of compartmentalization, this study also fails to acknowledge the vital role of groupthink, required for larger, scientific, and/or open conspiracies to succeed.
...
Over-claiming consensus certainty, attacking straw man positions, or silencing evidence-based views on scientific issues… is anti-science.
...
People should be encouraged to study anything and everything.
...
Indeed, most conspiracies which remain ‘theories’ do seem to have whistleblowers, leaks, or significant narrative holes within certain compartments, but not enough to blow the whole story wide open.

Please help encourage a world more dominated by open source information and operations.
