It makes perfect sense, just keep in mind Yue-bing's psyche and vocabulary. Yue-bing is still fuming over how she was eliminated early in the bunny caucus and her supporters were so few that the only end result of her candidacy was to push Mr. Sparkles above Min-min. Likewise, when Yue-bing refers to 'my girlfriend' she is really refering to Vincent and when she refers to 'a client from the Pentagon' she is really refering to Mikey, Jojo's right-hand-ferret as Jojo is the neighborhood 'tough bunny' and has appointed Mikey with keeping the local snake and coyote problem at bay. Last week Mikey met with both Min-min and Yue-bing to discuss his new plans to build on the gains made against the snakes in the last few months, due in part to a local rainy season. It might seem strange that Yue-bing, who has built herself up around her human followers like Vincent, is now trying to ally herself with the local bunny population. But she might have her eyes on the next bunny caucus, and her lack of a following or a base among the native small-animal population is a major reason her showing at the caucus was so poor.

A recent example would be "Sketchbook: Full Color". An older show would be "Kino's Journey". A show like "Yotsuba&!" is also a good example*. Each one of these shows is a perfect example, though in different ways. Semi-examples would be Animal Yokocho or even "Clannad", but these also diverge at points, not a true thematic piece.
* I know it hasn't aired yet. Sometimes he refers to future things as if they have already happened. If it's a problem, take it up with him over Skype.

Yue-bing's proposal, to use the time dilation created by non-inertial reference frames in order to lower the necessary amount of time to sub a show, would offer minimal time gains, so nominal they may not even be detectable. Her plan, the one involving gathering the fansubbing team in a giant elevator and lowering the elevator down to the center of the earth might work in concept, since neither the people are the surface of the team in the elevator are in what is technically an inertial reference frame, but in reality the numbers are so small that the time differential would be so negligeable it could probably not even be detected in the time it takes to normally sub an episode. Not to mention all the technical hurdles to overcome in doing that. Let's face it, Yue-bing is patently insane, but you probably already knew that.

No. And no. That much alone should be obvious by watching it. I dare say that even Shinsen, in its current state being run by Yue-bing, could not achieve that level of lacking QC and edit. I think I know what is happening, but it's totally unrelated to anything we did.

It will crystalize over time. There is nothing you can do. Do not allow it to freeze as that can speed up the process. Your best bet is to keep it at a steady temperature and don't buy more than you can use in three to six months time. Once it starts to crystalize you can typically heat it to break it down but it just won't be the same.
*** NOTE: There is a typo in some of the dates above, it should be obvious which ones, the 2007 should be 2008, sorry about that.
