I felt the exact opposite for the same reason, because it was so on the nose I found it more to be of an illustration of the paranoia Tony has to live with rather than any real confirmation of his demise. Regardless, that scene is so masterfully done, Chase is fucking with the viewer the whole time, using all the tropes of his direction developed over the course of the series to build the tension and then deny the viewer the pay-off they expect. I love it, Maggle.
The scene where Bobby says that you probably don't even see it when it happens pretty much spells it out for you.
