[the phantom]

I wouldn't have said anything about it until I did anyway. There was more than one possibility as to what Boro was up to early on, and I wasn't about to jump up and down and point it out before I had some sort of plan of action.

I'm a firm believer that you don't mess with someone's plan unless you have some specific purpose for it. Let people play. Let them do their thing. If you're not exactly sure what sort of ploy you are witnessing, just keep your mouth shut until you think you know. Then act accordingly.
