Excellent! But one thing I don't get is


Why did they really have to tape everyhing in their "simulated" heist in the warehouse, since the robbery did actually happen at the moment it was shown to happen.
If they happened at different moments, I would get it, and would wrap up the twist ending without plotholes, but Danny Ocean and Matt Damon DID jump into the pit in a specific moment(ie the blackout) so it kinda narrows down the action to that specific moment.
This is just one of those films that might not have plotholes(maybe), but 'feels plotholey'. It's when you can't pinpoint a specific plothole, but something feels off(or maye I'm just stupid, lol).

They needed the illusion that they had destroyed the fictional half of the money in the vault not put into the remote-controlled van. Before the power went out they needed the illusion that they were only packing up half of the money.
