You know, I don't recall ever being involved in another discussion group where an author says, flat out, that something is the case, and debate then continues on whether it's /really/ the case. I suppose this is a natural consequence of having a group based around a set of novels that are naturally attractive to suspicious people... I mean, lying to people in the course of telling a story is, basically, an author's job, but lying to people randomly in interviews usually isn't. (Maybe it's his hobby. Heh.)
