History YMMV / LosSimuladores

* IdiotPlot: The whole 07x02 episode happens because the B-Brigade does not show an ounce of common sense during the drill (acknowledged in the story). As if pretending to be an Arab terrorist cell during UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror wasn't risky enough, they use cellphones to make the calls. They end up detained in Washington D.C., prompting the team to rescue them.

* WhatAnIdiot: There are cases through the show, the worst example might be the aforementioned 07x02 episode. The B-Brigade, during an operative, pretends to be a terrorist cell in 2003, during the height of UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror, which was against Santos's suggestions, and they used, against all logic (which is lampshaded by Medina) traceable cellphones during the operation. Predictably, they drag the U.S. secret services attention, they get tracked, detained (with Fehler's exception) and taken to the FBI's headquarters to be subjected to {{Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique}}s. TooDumbToLive, indeed.

** Manzione's crying because of [[spoiler: the failure of his "big night", immense frustration, the nostalgic memories of his childhood (induced by a TV advertising of ''Literature/{{Heidi}}'', which makes the scene even sadder), and the the regret for not wanting to be with their loved ones at Christmas.]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Some of the simulations seem less about deception and more about making people face, or discover, the truth about themselves. Like an artist, they use lies to tell the truth. The first episode is a good example, and probably the best. This is even lampshaded by Lamponne (of all people) at the end:
