Stupidity: Why would Gabriel have an item as valuable as the Poison Pill dangling from his neck (and therefore susceptible to falling off or being snatched by Ethan) during the airplane sequence rather than have put it in a secure location like a closed pocket before takeoff?
Stupidity: This movie, together with the previous one, takes place in 2026. In this movie, it is stated that the Sevastopol incident took place in 2012. Considering that Denlinger's motivation in DR was to cover up his involvement in it, it means that Denlinger has been DNI of the US for 15 years straight (not technically impossible, but incredibly unlikely), and that's without knowing at all 2 months prior to his death about Ethan or the Mission Impossible Force.
