Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation

Factual error: When the gas is turned on for the box, the red handle was moved to a right angle to the pipe which is standard for the off position.

Continuity mistake: During the bike chase scene, Ethan chases the last rider who is trying to shoot IIsa. He follows a right bend to catch and get in the inside of this rider. Ethan then knocks him from the inside of the bend. As he is on the inside of the bend, he would be knocking the rider to the left. However, in the next shot Ethan has knocked him off on a straight road with the bike and biker now falling to the right, which would be impossible from the previous shot, with both rider and bike falling towards an embankment. In last segment the scene changes back to Ethan exiting the bend with the rider's bike travelling now in the opposite direction along the ground towards the edge of the road, before exploding when hitting the barrier. (01:16:00 - 01:17:00)

Deliberate mistake: If the files on the hard drive are encrypted, as stated, they would also be locked against being deleted by a command, and Atlee would not be able to use a phone in close proximity to issue the delete command. He would need a massively powerful magnet or EMP to clear the drive.

MedicOne

Factual error: Breaking through the power plant glass roof, the glass is wire reinforced and would not break in the way shown. (01:01:46)

Continuity mistake: In the Vienna subway, Benji tries the glasses on and a woman and an old man approach from behind. A shot later they're suddenly already several meters ahead.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Benji receives the opera tickets he opens the brochure completely. When the shot changes the left page is not fully extended.

Sacha

Factual error: They are meant to be taking off from Belarus in the opening scene. However when they fly over the roads the traffic is driving on the left hand side of the road.

Question: When Ilsa presents Ethan with his supposed 3 options, she says she's proof the Syndicate exists, but I'm not sure how exactly. She also says the CIA wouldn't believe them right afterwards. They all assume at this point the disc is a ledger though, so why wouldn't that definitively prove the Syndicate is real? I know of course that since it's encrypted they can't open it, but Ilsa doesn't know that! I don't see how she could come to the conclusion that the CIA won't believe them.
