| Dec 26, 2017 at 23:55 | comment | added | Mast | @JoshCaswell Techincally, Benedict did try the cover from Sheldon by asking about a recently deceased colleague he would've known about. His cover was simply too tight. | |
| Dec 26, 2017 at 15:59 | comment | added | chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- | @JoshCaswell True, but even Benedict is unlikely to believe in the moment that there's a double game going on. After the fact, I'm sure he did look up Sheldon Wills at the commission. | |

| Dec 26, 2017 at 15:53 | comment | added | chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- | @JoshCaswell Presumably because there are obvious reasons for pretending not to be an ex-con when applying for a job, but there aren't obvious reasons for pretending to be a boring bureaucrat who's making charges that are essentially confirmed. Most people stop checking at one level of a story's backstop. | |
| Dec 26, 2017 at 15:28 | comment | added | jscs | "he will check for Linus' accusations [...] There will be actual Frank C[a]tton [...] So his story checks out and Benedict has no doubt about the scene with Frank, Linus" This doesn't add up, given that Linus's identity was completely fake. Why wouldn't Benedict also check "Sheldon Wills" out? | |
