That seems like the writer wrote a piece of Fridge Logic to me by not noticing that the math didn't work.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
"Kick the Son of a Bitch" in the Characters section mentions Nick Fisher being unsympathetic due to being a child rapist. At what age does one get to go to jail?
Cause "he spent 8 years in correctional for forcing himself on a 14-year old". And they are practically of the same age with Slevin, so they can be mixed up, and realistically pose as childhood friends. And Slevin is a "plan 20 years into making", and 20 years ago he was a junior school kid, maybe 10 years old? So, now he's near 30. And so is, approximately, Fisher, so even if he's shown just out of jail, when he had commited his crime, he should have been 22 at most, and he's not _just_ out, because he's been Lindsey's neighbour for quite some time and has gotten over 100.000$ of debts. So, it's not so much a "child rapist" as a legal-age teenage boy forcing himself on a underage teenage cheerleader, maybe 4-5 years younger than him, which you don't actually think of as a kid, right in the middle of puberty, so she could look pretty grown-up cause girls grow faster. After which he was arrested and put in jail for about third to half of his life, and when he got out, he had no practical skills and so he got a lot of debts.
Maybe I'm overlooking some things but still I'm going along the lines of "doing the math" and "wild guessing" and probably "alternate character interpretation", if you can alternately-interpret a character with 15 lines of text over 5 minutes of screen time total.
