I would say that I think given some of the answers we've received to issues in the series, it is a common reaction to go to far in the other direction and become a "theory nazi", rejecting anything you don't think is possible beased upon your own subjectively-laden interpretation of the series. There are degrees of likelihood but truly, we are dealing with a situation where the current writer had to defer to an assistant, which suggests to me that there is a lot of room for error.
