I've already told him not to bother with my mention on the size of Skyrim in the Lore makes it so that it was physically impossible for 1 or 2 guys in cover in addition to the official Thalmor agents walking around to fulfill the Thalmor's needs to keep an eye on Skyrim to gather the information for the Thalmor leaders to have a clear picture of what was going on with the Civil War to decide when they should provide aid to the Stormcloaks.

The only thing from the Lore is that there are evidence showing that the Thalmor employing the use of spies plus one of them said that even if you kill him, the Thalmor will just send more to finish the job meaning they have replacements for every tasks they wish to do.

Most of it are just based off observations and are not Lore discussions.

Since smallest scale from the Lore points that Skyrim can't be smaller than 350,000 km², average to about 470,000 to 600,000 km² and no bigger than 1,200,000 km² at largest.

That is physically impossible for Skyrim because the 9 Holds have their own politics,relationship between the Jarls, relationship with th Empire, the Guilds, hunting down the remnant Blades members, things in the open and things in closed doors, the Civil War going on.

That is a lot of things on the table and many things are not convenient for the Thalmor agents out in the open to get. They'll need covet ops such as spies, bribery or other methods I am too lazy to talk about.
