I'm now so suspicious my mind immediately said ''What are they planning at midnight?'' rather than ''Heart attack cover story''. Shot straight through the other end of Occam's Razor there, didn't I?
Or created later and foisted upon him to create a 'provenance' and, as you say, a decoy.
I would go with this. If someone were to do a word history on this and find out when it became commonly used for the first time, I bet you will find that time period very interesting. For some reason, I am thinking Elizabethan times.
That would figure, lots of recrafting going on then linguistically. It'd been a turbulent time with Henry on the throne and the separation from Rome, probably had to do the same brainwashing with the populace then as now with the amount of Religion changes they were meant to accept from ruler to ruler (or whim to whim).

Omg…very astute with that idea
Haha, when times change we have to change the theories we believe in.
Maybe Occum's Razor was created to stop people from digging too much?
If it was, it was done early. William of Occam, circa 1287-1347.
