Dollhouse 'Topher' VS Toph

I have recently watched the full episode Grey Hour and got thinking. Just what kind of person are we dealing with here?

I'm thinking about the possibility of identity theft in one way or another.
1) - What if R corp found Tophs abilitys useful, but his idealism disturbing... Couldn't they just have copyed his 'mentat'skills and edited out the idealism, and imprinted Toph with the altered version of himself? (Explaining his amoral stance as portrayed in tv-series Dollhouse, if the fiction is anything to go by...)
2) -Or, if they imprinted altered Toph on a doll, wiping real Toph and making him one of the dolls in there, or one that became selfaware and escaped?

-But then my old infiltrator theory:In the tv-series things keep getting wrong and 'Topher' is always acting like he's just making minor mistakes, or there is someone else interfering. In Gray Hour he's all defensive, and blaming his own impulsive nature for 'mistakes'(00:23:30-00:26:05)but what if the slackerish exentric thing is a cover up.
Could Toph be infiltrating Dollhouse? I mean real Toph in real Dollhouse. And secretly trying to sabotage R-corp? And what about the whole Hazel thing, and possibly Toph monitoring the Mnema R prime lab site? (someone is!)Just think about it, R-corp was going to go ahead with the project anyway. Most damage can be done from the inside...

I'd just rather have Toph on our side, but if he's not, then we have to make plans how tho deal with him. Like plan A, B, C, D, E, - Z...

If I'm right about identity-theft theory: 2) we'd have one version of Toph with us, and a R-corp version against us. TWO of them. Like an good and evil twin thing...
The discussion goes on... And on...

Hi Hex! This has nothing to do with this post in particular, but with the topic in general:

"Theme: Memory and Identity" in Tendens on Swedish Radio P1. (Sorry, folks, it's in Swedish...)

Cheers!

And here's another note (Swedish again I'm afraid), this time on (surgically) removing uncomfortable memories in mice: http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/p1/program/artikel.asp?ProgramID=406&Nyheter=1&artikel=2695315
