I am trying to get a feel for how large others think the conspiracy was. To get a rough idea of how many are read into the program. I understand compartmentalization. I am referrring to only those who knew what the plot was.
Depending on the answer to that question, is your assertion going to be something like: "Surely, someone would have talked?" -- because that is a non-sequitor.
I think you are confounding compartmentalization with compartmentation.
Compartmentation is:
"division into separate sections or units"
Compartmentalization is:
"an unconscious psychological defense mechanism used to avoid cognitive dissonance, or the mental discomfort and anxiety caused by a person having conflicting values, cognitions, emotions, beliefs, etc within themselves. Compartmentalization allows these conflicting ideas to co-exist by inhibiting direct and/or explicit acknowledgement and interaction between separate compartmentalized self states."
The distinction is significant and important--
