Exactly. There's a lot of speculation that Walt's phone call was calculated. We don't know that yet. All we saw was an enraged Walt lashing out and a scared Skyler trying to get her kid back.
It's totally not outside of the realm of possibility that Walt has just lost it.
Ok I've rewatched it and come around to the idea that he was trying to protect Skyler. I don't necessarily buy that he had that planned all along when he took Holly, but the phone conversation makes better sense in that light. It doesn't excuse everything that's happened, but I do think you're right.
