I can probably only speak about my understanding of Odin, but even if I saw the American Odin as coarser, a lesser "version" (like mentioned in your quote) and more of an opportunist than the Old World Odin, the core of the character is still the same. A lack of honour, perhaps, but even the old Norse Odin was not especially nice guy.

To go back a bit in the discussion. When I read the book, several years ago, I thought Odin was referring to Wednesday as being an Aspect. God's do have them
Also, this was the first Gaiman I read. I've read several others since, and I'm always disappointed, you're idea that it's his most "adult" story could explain this.
