 At the same time though - and I probably should have added this as 6. - but how can they REALLY know you have it?

If you do it properly, they'd have to remove the 12 words from your head 
 I've thought about that, but for starters they'll know how much you have bought, then it's just a matter of how evil and desperate they are. In Solzhenitsyn's book, Gulag Archipelago, they would interrogate supected "wealthy" people without knowing their actual net worth but they'd have their ways of getting lots of people to crack. From what I read, if the torture/fear is too much and you'd rather hand over your wealth, best to not give a large amount (relative to what they think you have) early on, otherwise they might think it was too easy and that you could be hiding more. 

But it's definitely nice to know that they can never steal your btc even if they kill you, a nice big old F U. 
 Am I being paranoid, or at what point on the autistic spectrum am I?

 Its a hard thing to navigate. nostr:nprofile1qqs0nt9skq6vfsgh06v979rrnuchau87mmnk2lqxpv2xaeusqfp30mqpzamhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctc9ad278 really gave me a new perspective on this. On one hand try your best to buy Non-KYC, but also the government only really cares about when you exchange back to fiat. 

Fiat is their money, they can tell you how and when use it. Bitcoin is your money, tell them to fuck off. Burn the boats, never go back!
