Readers of Q should consider with healthy skepticism whether Q really would have relied on them to ever be able to decode numerals in the non-intuitive, highly convoluted and creative manner suggested by the quote.

In a situation like assassination, where you don't want the MSM to jump on it say "it was staged", but at the same time want to assure the Q supporters that everything is under control, you would pick a just enough convoluted decode.

572 -> 6:12 is not really as convoluted as "you can produce any result by adding, mirroring etc" but at the same time its not a direct connection, so if the mainstream tried to push it, people will say they are crazy.

BTW, I tried all day to find some confirmation that one of the 3 drops which contains "Shot heard around the world" ties to today and I couldnt find it. This is pretty notable.
