Ed's point is that people will try to find meaning in everything, and that you're seeming to do the same with Bebop. Bebop may have a lot of meaning, and it may be something you're reading into. I say stop worrying about deep meanings and just enjoy the show. The Beatles' songs are the same... some have deep meaning, like Blackbird (which Paul wrote about the black civil rights movement) and some are just nonsense, fun songs for the heck of it. No matter what meaning the listener (or in Bebop's case, the watcher), derives from it, the only one who has any true say on that are the creators. So no matter how much Charles Manson insists that Helter Skelter was the Beatles' warning of the coming race wars, it doesnt input any meaning. You can say Bebop has some great meaning as much as you want, but that doesnt inject the meaning into the show. It remains with you.

Not that I'm saying it does or doesnt, I have my own opinions of the meaning (or lack their of) of Bebop.

And Ancient Goddess, how can you not like Azumanga Daioh? I nearly wet myself laughing at that show! xD
