if a more dapper version of Morrison-era Niles Caulder was allowed to be in charge of seven kids

Yeah. Going by my reading of S3, the Pxxxxxx Oxxxxxxx was the (only) point of the children before they existed and before the third time Viktor oopsied everything off, so the vibes are *very* Niles Caulder except even more goal-oriented than that. A+ parenting indeed, but you've got to admire his willingness to tackle long-term projects.
