Information is always that complex. "Intelligence" is a bunch of rumors and innuendo that get mushed together into an analyst's report.
Even when you have what you believe to be incontrovertible evidence, because this is spy shit you have the possibility of a foreign intelligence service finding your hidden camera and using it to feed you whatever they like. And the fewer eyes you have on it, the less likely you are to discover the inconsistency with reality.
