That's a much better way of expressing your distaste for him than ' Vader could have been helping Luke out of self interest ' which just feels like really bad reaching to try and convince people of something that isn't really there.

I'm not saying I think that was the intent or anything bro <_<

I thought this kind of thing was a lot more common than it apparently is. I've seen this style of criticism - pointing out that the thing you dislike is flawed because it looks like something other than what it was supposed to be - a lot. My point is essentially that with what we're shown of Vader's character, I would believe self-interest a lot more readily than love, so the fact that love is the real explanation makes the scene not work for me
