Roger,
Once a mystery has been solved, it tends to deflate the wonderful
anxiety that accompanied it. If you were to bring your discovery to the
maker's attention, it may lead to layoff's, extended vacations without pay
or, perhaps, even firings of those involved in the conspiracy. I'd say "Go
for it!" ;O)
Peace,
Gman
