That fails a rule that I didn't put in the list, although I considered it. It's an elaboration on the Super Genius rule: the cast of thousands rule. The more people you have involved in a conspiracy, the more likely the secret will get out, and the more likely the conspiracy will make mistakes. Ask any general. The bigger your operation, the more problems multiply.

His camera theory would involve people in multiple countries (Sony doesn't work for the US) involved. It fails the cast of thousands rule rather spectacularly.
