By blaming ME I meant blaming 'generic BtVS creators/writers/PTB/anyone vaguely official who gives interviews and is taken more seriously than those who just watch the show and have two brain cells to rub together'.
I have terrible trouble following any detailed analysis of the BtVS world because the show is so swathed in contradictions that it's hard to sustain a coherent theory through one episode, let alone seven seasons. Sometimes I wonder if I love BtVS so much because it is so profoundly flawed ... but that would be like loving Evil Serial Killer Rapist Spike and make me too interestingly grey. Meow.
(I also hated Chosen. And I'm in Australia, so had to DL the episode to watch it because we only just aired Lies, so maybe it's not entirely fair to hate an episode when I've seen it out of sequence and am relying on transcripts to fill in the gaps ... but I hated it anyway.)
