Uhhh... Guys... - Ken's account of Professor Brook's comment is accurate. As documentary filmmakers, we can NOT go back and change the nuance of his words to thereby make them "more truthful". Even if I did agree with the way the comment was dissected (which I don't) we can't just go and change another person's opinion to suite our personal interpretation of "fact".
