Who is Red John?

Theories of toykan (1)

Let's put the pieces together in a realistic attitude in which we assume that producers are not selling metaphysical stuff with this happy-crying murderer.  Before presenting my theory, I want you who are interested in storytelling stuff to think about this question: 
Imagine that it's a written novel and Lisbon is the narrator of this story, would this final episode be different?  
I just want you to think about it.

Anyway; let's ask our ordinary question:

How can Red John know exact list of seven names of Patrick Jane?


I think non of these seven names announced by L.Martins is R.J. Moreover, P.Jane's list is different or even there is no list of 7 names.  Watch the final, s5e22 carefully. P.J regularly incepts a curiosity into Lisbon's mind without satisfying it.  If P.Jane actually does not Lisbon to know this seven suspects issue, Lisbon would not have any clue about it.  

Watch the final part of final episode again, Red John's declaration does not say that there is 7 names but "a few names". It's definitely the same trick of Patrick Jane. A couple of week ago, he designed his "investigation room" with the awareness of Robert Kirkland's move. And yes, he simply incepted these seven names into Kirkland's mind then Kirkland's team of special agents edited the video according to these seven names.(of course with the presumption that he is accomplice of Rj) 

I argue that the original version of the L.Martins video contains more suspects and probably (no reasonable evidence but a possibility which is reasonable in itself) it's 30 as CBS website gives it to us but now we are  tricked by Red John who debugged other names and wanted to show P.J that "I'm much more superior than you!". At the twist, our first impression is supported by this cap ;

and producers want us to feel exactly the same as Lisbon. They want us to think the metaphysical possibilities, "special powers", they constantly bolds a"faith of metaphysics in this murderer" in us as Lisbon illusioned by Sean Barlow. And they tricked us at the final. However, what makes this show "watchable" is the post-modern "unreliable narrator" technique in which the narrator and equivalently we are double tricked just like Dr. Watson of Sir A.Conan Doyle.

Shortly, I think P.Jane does not know who Red John is but now he knows that he fooled Red John for gaining advantage and he fooled Lisbon for the sake of season finale. I guess, whole trick will be unfolded at s6e1 in which we see that P.J.'s list is not 7 names but 30 names as CBS weirdly and surprisingly served us.
