Plausible deniability is a huge factor in convert operations.

If the target can't prove something is intentional, it compounds the damage done, manages risks, etc.

Targeting trust is among the most disruptive attacks you can make.

Take movies with unreliable narrators (say, "Gur Hfhny Fhfcrpgf") as an example. Who or what can you trust?
