That is exactly what happened, and I'd say it was a 'silly plan', and to dismiss the possibility that, beacuse it's so dumb it couldn't have been the intent, is plain foolish. Usually its the simplest explanation that applies, and in this case it is correct. What apparently happened is the efforts put into the deception weren't good enough and the code left behind was missed. DOH!
