> Think about how many people during the Cold War moved to a remote island to take intensive Russian language classes.
Given the way you've presented your argument, you can't lose:
1. If the number is extremely low, it supports your claim in your last sentence that moving to Hawaii during the Cold War to take Russian language classes is conspicious behavior that reveals his parents as CIA.
2. If the number is extremely large, it supports your initial claim that moving to Hawaii and taking Russian language classes "are pretty typical covers and paths."
It appears you have yourself a contradiction there.
