It's very simple to see that the team was a tiny enterprise that got itself into a huge communication project. Two maverick investigators and a fledgling filmmaker trying to manage world communication of the event. It's not rocket surgery to see that Höfer (or whoever else was involved in press releases), with negligible, if any, prior training in hieroglyphics, certainly may have overextended himself, feverishly writing copy for various media venues, and at least once confused the phyle glyphs at the far end of the chamber, which Görlitz likely recognizes as being the tag line to a cartouche hidden behind the joint, as Khufu's cartouche. This mistake clearly did indeed happen at least in that one web report at news.com.au.

But for that understandable error to be interpreted as a deliberate coordinated attempt by Höfer, et al. - endorsed by the investigators - to lead the public to believe that the real Khufu cartouche was sampled and that this somehow is an example of a scheming team caught in a gotcha contradiction due to a "bungling criminal liar" at the helm is a very naive interpretation of how that kind of marcom mistake happens. Nothing devious about it.
