Who knew that a theatrical education would have practical applications in espionage? I should write a thesis about this.

(ETA:) You totally should. Would it be a footnote? But the thesis itself might disappear mysteriously.....

I recently read an SF book about first contact, when a bunch of Earthlings land on another planet. One of that planet's nerdiest people had theorized about just such an event, as part of his academic discipline. Unfortunately, the paper disappeared and was never heard from again. Except, we find, that all the people whose job it is to consider such things had ALL READ IT. (And he was right, too. Go nerds!)
