As far as I can tell, you're the only one around here who thinks that. You're the one always saying "I think what he means is this..." or "Lucas is probably thinking this...". No one else around here does that. The closest we come is conjecture based on what we see him do. You take it a step further and really try to tell us what you think he's thinking based on what he's saying.

At least in my case, I don't have to assume either Lucas or Kurtz is lying or forgetting the facts.
Your stance depends on ignoring what Lucas says about it.

Your stance depends on ignoring what Lucas says about it.
And your stance depends on ignoring all the other evidence to the contrary (original movie, scripts, books, Kurtz, etc). You think you're right based on someones memory of what happened more than 20 years ago. We think we're right based on hard evidence (scripts, movies, books, etc). And actually, in your case, you do have to assume that Lucas or Kurtz has forgotten the facts. Lucas says one thing, Kurtz says another. YOU are assuming that Lucas gets it right because he can't possibly be remembering it wrong. We are assuming Kurtz got it right for all the reasons we've mentioned.
How is your stance any better than ours?
