Q isnt dropping pending operational clues though, he/they are primarily dropping connect the dots clues to the web of evil permeating the land and allowing people to lift the veil themselves. Any comments relating to actions appear to always be after the fact, the cabal by default already know the effect of the action. Additionally they (bad guys) are probably severely hamstrung for real time communication, while good guys are now able to communicate unhindered.
Generally, you are right. There have been a few, can’t specifically say which ones, where I read them and then said to myself, “why is Q letting the DS know this in advance?” I assume they know what they are doing, so I haven’t worried about it too much.
