It's very possible the water related name is a red herring. I haven't seen anyone mention The Master as an option, but I don't see why not.
I've been seeing MAGA folk essentially rewriting things in their head all the time. It was something described in 1984, but I'd never thought I'd see it happening at this level. Major event happens, MAGA folk are all over the map for a day or two with conspiracy theories, until they get their "reality" from Fox News or similar news media. Then all of a sudden, those theories are quickly forgotten like they never existed, and the new story is now the story.
Maybe Conrad is a grifter, but has been marinating in that mindset for so long, he can't remember his own objective reality? We might not see Conrad again, but I wouldn't be surprised if the concept is revisited, as there's supposedly a UNIT series in the works.
