In all seriousness though, the entire idea of the Coup was ill-thought out by the writers.

I mean Corvo is great and all, but he saw NONE of this coming? He didn't properly vet Mortimer Ramsey, and somehow let this yutz gain enough momentum OVER MONTHS of planning to get control of the throne room?

Corvo's supposed to be a spymaster, and had his own supernatural abilities to augment this, yet he discovered NOTHING?

I could see if Delilah somehow used magic to help mask this one way or the other, but there is absolutely no eveidence of this.

I can even frogive Hiram Burrows, who had only one supernaturally enhanced guy to contend with, who zipped about mission to mission, slowly eroding his allies. This Coup, was an entire friggin' battalion of guards tearing apart the docks. That takes some planning AND coordination.

Oh, and except for Alexi, like NONE of the guards at the palace were loyal huh? Yeah... great spy-network ya got going on there. :P

In short, yeah Jameson Curnow, like the rest of Corvo's ability to detect anything, was pretty much useless.
