Militaries and their disinformation units are like this.
There are at least 5 different narratives about how the US found Osama bin Laden, which contradict each other:

When a military achieves something and there's intense speculation on how they did it, they will want to obfuscate how they did it. One of the best ways to do that is to give a range of different explanations, some fanciful, some plausible, none of which are completely accurate, leaked to a range of credible and non-credible people. A disinformation campaign.
