ARGUMENTATION

I'm not saying that the list is for sure fake....(I just hope it is)...but as far as the list goes, I still don't understand why Jane would tell Lisbon and, ultimately, the entire team...even printing out PICTURES of the 7 suspects!!??

Why would someone as smart, but as technically UN-savvy as Jane, PRINT OUT PICTURES of the 7 suspects!!!???  We all know that Jane tries to avoid computers at all costs...What reason would he have to go through the trouble of printing out,  making copies, cutting them out individually!!??, or whatever he did?  I just can't wrap my brain around it.  Just having those pictures in his room is a HUGE risk, especially after he knows that someone had already broken in!

And to add to that: the possibility that their phones would be tapped, and when Lisbon told Grace, that someone would hear...OR the chance that their office is bugged and someone is listening to their conversations...

The ONLY place the list would be safe is IN JANE'S HEAD!!

If the show wanted to stay true to Jane's character, then there is no way that he would leave any sort of a paper trail, or ANY possibility of someone finding out his list...There have been TOO MANY times already that a mole has found out crucial information and ruined their plans!

So, in my mind, there are only two reasons why Jane would tell the list to Lisbon:

1. The list is fake, and Jane has one of his elaborate plans to catch RJ through casting out the "fake" list of suspects to throw people off.

2.  There is a reason why he WANTS Red John (and other people) to know that he already has a list of 7 suspects.
I have no clue why he would want anyone to know...but maybe it is part of his plan?  I don't know...
I guess you could say that he just wants to be loyal to his "team" and keep them informed, but come on, when has he EVER done that?

So, even though it seems that Bruno is sticking with the list, I just really hope he throws a huge curve ball at us, and gives us an AWESOME ending (that still makes sense, obviously)...

How do you find this theory?
