Bob & the Nevernever: Did Jim make another error, or drop a clue?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Bob during Battle Ground was receiving Radio Mab the 24 hour channel for everyone on Mab’s poop list.
I am not sure Mab has him as a high priority since he was bound to the skull. Bob has effectively punished himself.

meh.
Given how freaking many immortals there are (and presuming they all know) the chances of this "secret" remaining genuinely "secret" seem impossible. Just ONE of them trusting the wrong confidante, or being less-than-perfect in their secrecy/security, would mean the secret would get out.
I mean, sure... they don't like it being blabbed-around as common knowledge. But I expect that's mostly because they don't want the annoyance of rando-immortality-seekers by the metric moron-ton.
And despite his raw power, and the many heavyweights he's faced, Harry is (relatively-speaking) still new to the game. There's so much he still doesn't know.

That seems possible. But I find it very very odd.

I think Binder summons spirits.
When they "die," they leave behind corpses that dissolve completely to ectoplasm.

Binder is a summoner. Summoned beings are given their bodies thru the summons, they don't manifest in reality without being called.
Conspiracy Theorist:
We are told in Skin Game Goodnan Grey pulls in ectoplasm from the Never to increase his mad to that say if a horse. The principle for Bob to create an ectoplasmic body would be identical.
No idea how a shapechanger gets rid of mass though I do note that both LTW and River retained their mass in shapechanging in PT and BG, so I suspect Jim hasn’t figured a convincing explanation either in his own universes rules.
One way would be to convert the mass to energy, but then you need to store that energy and then convert it back into mass, basically teleportation. BG of course contained foreshadowing Harry aging shape shifting and teleportation abilities in the future.
