But if the double-swap theory is true, then why would Varys believe that the Golden Company would join them? He’s not stupid, like JonCon; he wouldn’t buy the historically bizarre “a dragon is a dragon” excuse. He would know that the Golden Company would only back a Blackfyre. So wouldn’t he have to know about Aegon Blackfyre to incorporate the GC into his plan?

It’s quite possible that Varys had planned to pass off the real Aegon as a Blackfyre.
