Zombies are scientist?!?!

You seem to claim that I'm ignoring any fact at will as I please to better manufacture the opinion I want it to fit, which is a pretty harsh judgment. I don't think it's an accidental oversight of the game/development to allow the perceived Infected in Swanson's lab kill you, I think it's a gameplay decision to make the assumption that the player will not allow death to occur while playing normally, EG immersed. They may check to see if they're being hurt, and when they are, realize or think they realize they must defend themselves. It's makes as much of a paradox as dying in any other part of the game does, since you 'need' to survive to the end to write the letter that you see at the beginning of the game.

I'm not "doomed to see flaws everywhere", I'm trying to include design intent in story-interpretation.
