You're most welcome--thank you for writing it! It's one of those things I can point to and say "see--that's what I think!"
There was epic complaining when TBB aired, and it's still frequently cited as a weak point of season five, Moff's worst episode, etc., etc. It seems to sit especially badly with people who care very much about plot holes and real-world logic--it gets endlessly nit-picked by people unwilling to take it allegorically and thematically. Not that there aren't people around who like it too, but I feel like it's *grossly* underrated and rarely gets recognized for how key it is in setting up all the themes of the Moff era.
