Then in two lines, Teddy just basically explains exactly what the Maze is. I was like wtf? How hidden is this "maze" actually? Blame it on a short season I suppose.

Well we can't be sure that Ford's upgrade to Teddy's storyline was not involved with this? It seems indeed, it is involved. Which also makes Ford involved.

Keep in mind that isn't just off-the-shelf Episode 1 Teddy, that's Teddy with his "new storyline" that Ford said he was ready for.

I'd guess that's the explanation. Ford is playing a game. We don't know if Ford wants MIB to find the maze or not.

I tried to parse all interactions between man in black + Ford at that barroom conversation, it was very difficult to parse whether Ford is playing a game with the man in black, whether he wants him to find the maze (giving MIB what he wants), or wishes to prevent him from finding the maze.

^ that's how I see it and where I am at on it.
