Let me throw this out there...

why is Jesus punning in Greek in the first place?

Would this have made any sense at all if this discourse between Peter and Jesus were taking place in conversational Aramaic?

not to be a smartass, but if you go through Matthew, a few verses later, in 16:23, Jesus tells Peter, "Get thee behind me, Satan."  Hardly a sound basis for establishing dogmatic authority.
