Another thing that's been bothering me about the story. Wasn't Cambell in the second one just a phantom of Raiden's imagination cobbled together from his own experiences and expectations of what the colonel should be and then transmitted from Arsenal gear, and didn't Snake and Octocon reveal that too him when he was naked in the arsenal gear jejenum or wherever? Raiden even said he'd never seen the colonel in real life and he's never addressed as Colonel Cambell.

Wasn't the whole point of him looking and talking like Cambell done on purpose to make the audience think it was Cambell so the twist at the end came as a bigger shock? I mean that seems like a pretty big hole to me that he turns up in the second one and Snake is talking to him like it was a familiar experience to the both of them. I mean if the colonel wasn't involved in the mission why would he even know who raiden was?
