Still not fair, I don't think. The point of Damage was to confirm that Andrew *did* speak for the slayer organization. He had an army to back him up. We know Andrew's an unreliable narrator. But Spike has every reason to think he really does represent Buffy. It went down in Damage as though she did. We might all hope that Buffy has made a mistake in entrusting Andrew with a position of authority in the organization. But Spike is NOT wrong in thinking Andrew has that position, or in thinking that Buffy trusts him enough to have given him that position. Buffy's judgment may well be mistaken, but tagging Andrew as a watcher, which she did do, means that she's had a role in putting Andrew into a position where Spike would take him as a credible source about Buffy.
