Too be fair it is obviously intended to be a talk on what could be happening and not what certainly is.

It is, however, reasonable to assume that "they" are as smart as we are, so "how would I do it" analysis is quite called for.

Yes, but it's not reasonable to assume that our armchair "how I would do it" theorizing is, in fact, how they would do it. We can assume that they have come up with the idea, but maybe they discarded it for reasons that aren't obvious to us.
