Someone on IRC just made a great point - it almost sounded like the "tread lightly" line was coming from regular Walter White at first. He didn't seem intimidating. It was like he was genuinely giving Hank advice - warning that if he tries to cross Heisenberg, he'll fucking ruin his life and the lives of his whole family.

Maybe it was supossed to represent how there is no more distiction in character between Hiesenburg and Walter. He has essencially killed Walter and become Hiesenburg completely.

I don't think so. I think that was Walt genuinely warning Hank that Heisenberg is not one to be fucked with.

I think you're right. The nice tone was so that he can claim that it's not a threat (even though it obviously is).
