I agree, and that answers a lot of questions. I guess what I'm interested with that type of stuff is how to fanwank it so I feel better. I mean, for any question you can say, "because that's how the writers wrote it, for good or ill"--but once you're inside the 'verse and playing with it that's kind of jarring to hear. Kind of like how some people are so shocked to hear that even if they DID write it that way, Spike is actually not a girl and Xander's penis is magical but not rainbow colored; it's like the real world intruding and making itself known and we can't have that in our rainbow penis universe; in fact I'm going to get riled up at you for applying logic and sense; how can you say such mean things to me when I've never done anything to you except accuse your extended family of catporn that one time?

Yeah, big screen Giles! For perhaps two minutes. I almost peed my pants it was so exciting.
