I agree, lots of disinformation in this movie...

thought this was interesting & shows how important espionage is during war;

"Seldom remembered as a trickster, Washington was also fond of spreading disinformation. He encouraged members of the Culper Ring to exaggerate the size and strength of his forces in their conversations with British supporters. He would also spread false messages about military movements and attacks on various forts, sending them via regular post to ensure that they would be intercepted. He also turned to less-formal networks for intelligence-gathering, frequently relying on scouts to collect and convey information."

Q confused the DS while teaching us how to analyze. like JFK Jr. mentions in this clip, have to look though clues to 'discern'.
