Zeppo explicitly tells us that the frame of the story can be misplaced.
The evidence is how the text works: there is widespread disgruntlement about the last two seasons... the heroes are seriously compromised and a lot of viewers have a feeling of ambivalence about them as they walk off into the sunset. And the viewers who insist on them being pure heroes are quite sure that seasons 6 and season 7 were badly written exactly because they told a story about some other character's redemption and because there were too many actions that were OOC because it's not something their heroic character would do. Some of them specifically hate those seasons *because* the story lines got inverted (which means that they are actually seeing the inversion).
