See, Will Smith is one of the "dummies" I talked about above. Not actual dummies (well, yes, but...) but their main purpose is to distract from the real players. If it were JUST the ones that everyone suspected of being deviants it would be disastrous to all the rich & famous involved, but if you include more people, it helps to create a convincing story. The way I see it, Epstein involved a bunch of people up there to just have parties...great food (haute cuisine & the usual crowd-pleasers), expensive alcohol, probably some decent music too.
Those people aren't present when the "fun" starts that involves the nastier stuff (where a few people probably slipped out during the peak of all of it), and then all the celebrities come home and talk about how Epstein was a great if eccentric host and it's just harmless parties. BAM! Instant cover story, enough witnesses to corroborate that nothing awful was going on behind the scenes, and even if an actor was kidnapped and information forcibly extracted...they really don't know anything and had no knowledge of anything illegal (besides drug use, which happens at most parties anyway).
Of course, it's all just a theory, but I find it pretty unlikely that every single person involved had some sort of hebephilia fetish that needed to be resolved there.
I actually agree with you that many of the celebrities were very likely easy fronts/distractions, because the more people you involve, the riskier the operation becomes. It would make sense that Epstein would only let a close, carefully selected inner circle in after vetting them. He also had to keep track of everyone he trafficked girls to, because he built up blackmail cases against each of them should he ever need them. Letting it be a free-for-all would've probably outed him a lot sooner.
Not to mention that having more famous people out there who love to blab to the media insist Epstein that is "good guy" who throws fun normie rich parties didn't hurt his reputation.
I also think there were A LOT of people who saw shit but said nothing or convinced themselves they didn't see it, much like the witnesses in the documentary who kept their heads down. Much like hundreds did with Harvey Weinstein.
