You have a right to your opinion and since it is not settled in the manga, we can all come up with different theories which anyone has a right to dispute. Because of that you would never look like an idiot.
I think that you sought of misunderstood me though. My own fault probably. I agree with you that the gift would be used to knock some sense in Sasuke whichever way it is used. Would the method used be as extreme as you describe, I don't know. What I believe is that on top of the gift, a message from Itachi would be more effective in awakening Sasuke.
Regarding the Kyubi, I meant for it to happen well later in the manga after all the bad guys have been wiped out and the child of prophecy has brought peace. I just think that if the beasts are out of the world, there would be no villains trying to figure out a way of controlling them and by then Naruto would be so powerful that he would not need the extra boost from the nine tails.
