“Are they stupid or duplicitous?”
I am going with stupid. Duplicitous would mean there’s a spark of intelligence somewhere. Schemes and plots can’t be hatched without a little brain power!

Anyone with at least one fuctioning brain cell and the slightest bit of a clue would know that singing the praises of any pro-murder hack would bring a swift and merciless zot from Jim.
Kudos, Boss!
I agree with your assessment.
