Anyway! I actually like that story a lot and that is a actually quite a valid theory about what Tony was trying to do... But I think, that is a bit different from what I was trying to say here. In the story, if I got this right, Tony had set up the *SHRA* to fail, whether or not the boss-man was him or Oz.
I was thinking more in the vein of, 'After SI, when it all goes to hell and Tony realizes that he must delete the database to prevent Oz from misusing it, then the whole thing about that finally led to Oz beating him on live TV, was the result of a little Xanatos Gambit' (or Thanatos Gambit, rather -_-;)
Though I agree about Tony being in a baaad place when he made that recording, which arguably may have been affecting his rationality...
And word on the extremis bit! :D (Though I am somewhat surprised at his brain drive apparently being left just lying around in an abandoned building... )
