One kind word can change someone's entire Tuesday.

But a really mean couple of words can ruin someone's entire month.

Way more productive.

Riff is, despite his inventive genius, notably rather rough around the edges when it comes to basic knowledge in his own profession (see Minion Master doubting his "scienceness").

Sasha really isn't a tinker-y wrench wench? Somebody hold my mint julep, I feel faint... that's waaay too much deception.

Ah, that's why they didn't get anywhere getting Riff and Zoe back...

Man, Riff is throwing some serious shade there. Well-deserved, too.

Also those reference comics have some nice extra bits too: I love Torg's comment about Riff's dad at the funeral, knowing what we do now.

But in all seriousness, an good actor (and I guess being a professional spy counts as acting) who put in some serious work is capable of faking a high level of knowledge.
There was this experiment where an actor would pose as a professor, speaking a lecture to a group of university students. They thought it was the best lecture ever, and claimed that they really got to understand the subject in a deep way.

Thanks for pointing this out--I hadn't noticed! It's always amazing how the puzzle pieces fit together in retrospect.

A short lecture, pre-scripted, where the actor controls the room. I don't doubt it.

He's not female either. And his name's not really Sasha.

I don't see how this was something that even needed testing. Lectures are by definition non-interactive, so it literally doesn't matter whether the person delivering it comprehends the material or not.

I never caught on that she wasn't the tinkering type, until Bun-Bun pointed it out and than I didn't want to believe it until i found out she worked for Hereti Corp. I WANT Sasha to be 'good' but Idont know if I trust her.
