It makes me wish we'd gotten Jon telling him 'Nothing ever ends,' as in the book,
Maybe they thought it'd be too redundant with Rorschach's journal being found. Me, I think the movie's conception of Ozymandias is a lot less nuanced than the book's, and thus him expressing doubt to Jon (or glee at his success) wouldn't fit into his "evil genius" characterization like it did into his "utopian 'hero'" characterization.
