Doesn't that effectively render the S3 Plan, a test designed by the Patriots to see if they could manipulate the decisions of individuals, pointless? If Venom Snake is a fake, then they already proved it's possible to manipulate people.

Unless Venom was their first ever attempt at the plan. In which case, that would make Big Boss responsible for the S3 plan. Which would mean Big Boss became far more corrupt than we'd previously thought. He'd basically have had a hand in the events of MGS2, and the manipulation/death of his clone Solidus. Uh, Zero had nothing to do with the Patriot AIs' S3 Plan. Big Boss confirmed that the AIs did not do what Zero wanted them to do and that he made a colossal error in judgment that he could not have foreseen. That doesn't explain why the Patriot AIs would copy essentially a plan that, according to the leaks, Zero and Big Boss created. If you are to believe the leaks, Zero and Big Boss are manipulating someone else into acting like Big Boss and recreating Mother Base, similar to how the AIs recreate Shadow Moses through Big Shell, FOXHOUND through Dead Cell, and Big Boss/Solid through Solidus/Raiden.

Could it be that the AIs are simply repeated the process Zero and Big Boss started, similar to the cycle of perpetual wars, which prior to the AIs taking control was an idea of Big Boss, although for different purposes?

The real issue with what this whole leak implies, is that Boss left Zero because he wanted to clone him. Why's he suddenly okay with creating a duplicate of himself, when he was so opposed to the idea of there being more than one of him?
