I think Jedburgh has done more than just read the literature, Jeff.

In a robust assessment environment, people are on a look-out for this. Assumptions about social/cultural/political context, motive, intentions, and behaviour are questioned by analytical team members, team leaders, and higher-ups, and tested against evidence. (They had best also be on the look-out for the reverse of mirror-imaging too: that is, an almost caricatured image of the opponent.)

I'm not saying that its not a problem, but that it is perhaps less common of a problem than you suggest, and more readily dealt with by existing recruitment and training mechanisms than you presume.
