Honestly, neither had I said Ishmael = hallucination is wrong, only I felt he is more likely a real person. We are only talking possibilities at this stage, so anything not contradictory to what is already known can happen. Be frank, I start to feel that we are wasting time discussing before new information or theories pops up...

Just a small note on your question about Ishmael introducing himself as Ishmael (instead of Chico, if so he is). At least a few people tried to hide their true identity when introducing themselves to the playable character - Sokolov (in MPO), Fox (as an unknown nijia and Deepthroat) and Olga (as Mr. X). They all have a reason or two to hide their true identities, so I won't be too surprised if Kojima comes up with a reason for Chico to hide his identity.
