I'd say Joss is hopeless at creating a mythology to begin with and then can't cope with staying within its confines. Having said that where I have no problem is with stuff that Giles expositioned as to demonology. I think the Watcher's had their own myths to explain things and were not without an agenda. So their emphasis on separating the vampire from the person seemed to be rather convenient as far as helping persuade slayers to think in those terms even if everything we say of Angel/Spike/Harmony showed it was wrong. Not that I think Joss actually planned that out - it's just a fortunate way to make sense of some of the mythology set up from the early seasons.
