"Ground Zeroe(s) to explain the turning point of Big Boss's life...the other one already happened...when he murdered the Boss. "

Ehhhhh.... well I guess that makes as much sense as my thing. That name is probably going to be goofy no matter what it turns out to mean. We're probably just going to have to wait for someone in Phantom Pain to actually say "Ground Zeroes" in a sentence ("that battlefield.... it was all of our ground zeroes!!!") so we can laugh at it and move on.

"Seeing someone's downfall isn't nearly as powerful when it's through someone else's point of view. "

That's true, but note that those words could also apply to Zero, whose reputation has been built up by Peace Walker and MGS4 as essentially THE villain of the series, but who we've only actually heard speak in one game.

Although, on the other hand, Zero may not actually need to have his actions explained. For example, after Peace Walker, Big Boss ending up back at FOXHOUND, even as a double agent, is probably going to require some explanation - and even moreso for Miller, since so far we've had no indication that he was working for Outer Heaven when he was at FOXHOUND, and as far as we know would later turn against Big Boss during the Zanzibar Land incident, which is just way out of line with where it looks like he's headed in that trailer. Zero, on the other hand, sent Paz to infiltrate MSF basically to deliver a message asking Big Boss why they never hang out anymore. He seriously might just let Big Boss return to work for the U.S. government, since he just really wants that to happen. He wouldn't even have to appear in Phantom Pain if it went down that way.

Sorry I called your reasoning weakass. I got upset.
