It was always meant to be this way, and anything that differs from that is just either the technology of the time or the crappy studio system that prevented him from doing it the way he wanted it.

I know. You'd think he'd admit the truth of everything and not act like some infallible god. He's sloppy-minded person however, and perhaps he can't actually see his own hypocrisy and lies with clarity. It's possible that he actually believes his own bullshit. Hmm, then again, some of his nonsense is way too extreme for that, and he'd have to actually be crazy if he was not a liar. I don't know.
