I also thought that the writers might have fluffed it up a la The Pointman with Jack Scalia where he was also a white collar criminal and ended up in prison and after some rough beginnings, he helped his inmates with his knowledge, so they left him alone and actually liked him.
Oh, it wasn't just the Peter's line, Elizabeth also said "he escaped a maximum security prison knowing full well you would catch him" when Peter was thinking of accepting Neal's offer :)
I think that for the fanfic writers, it's mostly a decision between taking the fluffy route or going more realistic. I like both scenarios, so I don't really care either way. It could be interesting to issue a challenge and see what various writers would do with it...
BTW, where did you see the original script? I didn't know the thing about San Diego :)
