Hmm, interesting ! I agree on many points ;)

Still, you could imagine that even at this early age, Johann being himslef, he just liked the  idea of killing hazard the possession of poisoned candy provided : it is "very easy" to poison them without opening them (needles) and then, it might happen that some random people died without him doing anything else...

Since I bought my own theory, I was not very fond of a further plot to eliminate the twins. But now that you put it, it could work, even if it yould be weird that urasawa didn't hint about it...

But then I agree that it is very likely that he later claimed full killing intent to mess with Tenma, very clever move ;) This little trick also allowed him to have a "tenma-directed" signature ! I love this guy...
