I like your theory, and I think you're most likely correct. I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that I'm kind of hoping that's the case, because otherwise Cambell is a moron of the highest order who wasn't fit to lead a rat through a maze, let alone direct an assault on an assassin's hideout. I mean, for god's sake.

HAY GUISE I HAVE THIS GREAT PLAN, HOW ABOUT AN ITTY BITTY NUMBER OF YOU GO WANDER THROUGH CHEST-HIGH WATER IN THE PLAGUE-RIDDEN TERRITORY OF SUPERPOWERED ASSASSINS. SURELY NOTHING WILL GO WRONG, VICTORY IS CLOSE AT HAND.

I mean. They don't even have a god to pray to for success or protection. The only dude they recognize as being godlike is the Outsider and they're not exactly BFFs with the guy. In fact, the Assassins, as far as the Overseers can tell, are BFFs with the Outsider and maybe that should have been their first clue that their plan might have gone better if it had included, like, boats and arc pylons or something.

Basically what I am saying here is that if Campbell wasn't deliberately sending those Overseers to their deaths, Corvo did the world an even bigger favour by removing Campbell from the gene pool.
