I have a hard time believing that Big Boss is that big of an idiot that he couldn't realize that Cipher and Zero were one and the same. Sure he's a lousy liar, but I think most of that was meant for humorous purposes anyway (I mean, why would he even lie to all those people about being a soldier? Amanda and Chico, sure, because maybe they wouldn't take too kindly to being helped out by an American, but what about Huey?)

Big Boss is also strangely silent with regards to the death of the Boss. If he's no longer working the American government, has severed all ties with his former country, why would he still feel compelled to keep the truth behind her death a secret? It's like he doesn't want the world to know about Cipher, or he's guilty about his hand in forming the Patriots.
