I won't even try and argue about what Clamp had in mind when drawing a certain scene and what not. Sorry, but that takes the meta just a tad too far for me. :)

I think the background character crossovers are a similar matter. Whereas you believe them to be intended crossovers, I see it as using generic character schemes for backgrounds, because it saves them from the work of creating new ones. A lot of mangaka actually do that to some extend.

Sasaki: which is why I consider his official medical degree to be something like a medic assistant. Sometimes I violate canon to come up with plausible working plotlines. When that happens, I'm always guilty as charged and happily so.

I find it more disturbing how Clamp's character dates all circle around 1965, 1983, 1990, 1999... they might have intended it as "destiny" but it just comes across as "simplified math".

As you already know I think it would be boring if we all were to think the same so at each his own... ^____^

More likely they call it Hitsuzen... which for me means 'The author wants so and the world will bow to his will, no discussions allowed and no explanations needed'

Well, there's almost a Sue in Hit-Su(e)-Zen. ;)
