I get what you mean, Edvyn, don't worry. 
As I mentioned, a good portion of this is my own innate need for validation on my ideas. Even if it's ultimately a moot point since I can choose who I RP with and thus only include those willing to accept that Gogon is able to trance Alexander due to whatever crackpot explanation I put together. The rest is me trying to validate myself - making sure there's nothing in the lore that explicitly says "YOU CANNOT DO THIS" that I might've missed from my comprehension of the events.
So, a discussion thread like this helps me find out the stuff that supports the idea, what stuff detracts from it (and thus know what I might have to "explain" should people raise those questions), and get at least a sort of feeling how various groups might react to the idea. Basically seeing how many doors may close from this idea being put out there, and how quickly. Though, despite all this pussyfooting around, this is a plot point that may only come up in self-written story (once the spoiler timer is over, unless I flag the post itself as spoilery) or in dire straits in RP. So, it could very well just be self-afflicted paranoia.
