Oh no no no, not at all! I totally see where you're coming from. It just never even crossed my mind that it would seem like something I was trying to play inception with, haha. It's just that to me, personally, I can see no better way to emphasize how helpful and supportive a person has been, as ~it~ is generally seen as the ultimate reward. That's all.
But yeah no you're totally in the right don't worry a bit! :)
