Yeah, sometimes thinking deeply about a piece of entertainment can be taken too far, especially once you start digging into implications that the writers may not have considered. It can be fun, but sometimes, it's just too much, especially if it's taken too seriously. For example, I have to wonder if Tetsuya Nomura has actually considered the darker implications of the stuff about data in the Kingdom Hearts series, but it's possible that he hasn't and we, as fans, just overthink the messed up possibilities.

Anyway, sometimes what writers intend doesn't immediately make sense to us, but if it's what they intend for their story, we kind of have to go with it. From the way that the dialogue for this episode was written, it really seems that Miles and Kerry meant for Salem to plan to replace non-magical humans with magical ones. Perhaps she's just arrogant. Perhaps she thinks she can do anything. It would kind of suit her character, to be honest. "I'll find a way to get what I want" seems to be her thing.
