Well, his methods did actually work. He disabled Baby Magnum without the use of an Object, though to be fair it was already half damaged from an earlier attack of his Object. Him killing or not killing the pilot wasn't going to change that fact. Regardless I still stand by that he was really stupid or really greedy; he lost sight of his REAL 'win condition' (keep yourself hidden until the IA arrives) just so he can 'pad his resume' to the IA? That is so much risk for so little gain, and he paid dearly for it.
About the 'flaws' I believe he was talking about his research. His research on how to beat Objects without using other Objects was pretty much just a theory that has a lot of hope of it being reality. That's why he can negotiate well with the IA... they can't torture the info about his end product when his end product wasn't finished yet. They need him fully functional in order for him to complete its practical application, and that's why he thinks he has the advantage in the bargaining table with the IA. Which again further proves that he wasn't thinking correctly when he went for the Pilot Kill... he already had a favourable position, no sense risking everything just to get a slight increase there.
