That's true, anyway. Still, I think it's the kind of plan he might come up with in the heat of the moment.

And taking a different tack, I don't think Walt at that point has the mental capacity to pull much of anything off. He's holed-up in his apartment scared out of his mind.

How do you explain the gun spinning scene and disappearance throughout most of the episode? Seemed significant.

My final thought would be that, from my perspective, this season (and well the whole series) has at least in part been about things unraveling around Walt, and how impotent he really is or would be as a "crime lord", especially in comparison to Gus, who we finally got some insight into this year. To have him (Walt) turn out to be some kind of Machiavellian criminal genius just seems off to me. Which is why I'm leaning towards/hoping for accidental poisoning, and not Walt putting all his pawns in motion while he twists his moustaches and cackles.

He's grown more and more pathetic at the same time, though. If the show is about him breaking bad, there aren't many things worse than poisoning an innocent child to get the upper hand in a game with Gus.
