I strongly beg to differ. For an awful lot of viewers, it would be horrifically predictable. It would be such an incredibly cheap, easy way out at this juncture.

It would also completely dash any and all sense of moral ambiguity in this anime, and threaten to negate much of its charcter depth and complexity.

I just can't believe Urobuchi would create this feeling just for it to be wasted.
The feeling isn't wasted at all if it's used as a very effective means of misdirection to set up a surprising ending.
