 PLOT: Since the villains plan called for finding a patsy to pin the  blame on, logically they should have "promoted" the employee who  scored the *lowest* on the test instead of the highest. They wanted  the dumbest, most gullible person possible since he presumably would  have been the least likely to figure out exactly what was going on.  They also should have terminated the person with the *highest*  score, for the opposite reason.
