I agree completely.
Also: I think it would be very unusual for a Mask of Moonson to be succeeded by one of the offspring of that Mask of Moonson. I don't think direct male-line heredity plays any part in picking who's likely to become manifest as the next Red Emperor. Lots of descendents of Moonsons may be more eligible (as would descendents of Proxies, Inspirations, etc.), but that's not the same thing IMO.
