Oh God, I can't believe I messed up that phrase. Thank you for the correction. I actually took Latin for a semester in college, if you'll believe it, though I took it entirely to better understand spells in Harry Potter when I should have been paying better attention to Latin phrases. (Ah, real life assisting with fandom.)
Interesting theory. So let me try to understand it: both Sherlock and Moriarty have lookalike actors playing them, and it is they who meet up on the roof, each under duress from the real ones. If neither the real Sherlock nor the real Moriarty were on the roof, it would be easier to fool each other than if just one were wrong (because Moriarty is sharp enough to notice a Sherlock impersonator, and vice versa).
This would require, of course, not just good but superb acting (even with earpieces connecting the actors to the real ones) and for the actor-Sherlock on the roof to speak with John (while perhaps crying because he knows his life is going to end shortly).
Of course. Moriarty wouldn't hire substandard actors. I suppose the only risk would be if they recognized each other. Although even that is unlikely, due to the nature of Moriarty's connections to people (that is, secret.)

Very interesting. I will add it to the list! :D
