I see what you're getting at, but I don't interpret it that way in this
particular instance.
Alain was dispatched to Japan around the same time Luc-Eric joined
Softimage. Since Alain worked on Softimage|3D and games, and Luc-Eric XSI
and UI/compositing, they probably didn't interact much (whether they did or
not, I have no idea). Alain returned to Montreal in the mid 2000's, and
left the company soon after. I see Luc-Eric's comments as providing the
only part of the picture he could based on his limited interaction with
Alain.

I don't know, Luc-Eric can be biased as he seems happy with AD, unlike the
developers that left, but you got to appreciate the fact checking you get
out of his presence here.
There is enough bias in the other direction anyway since AD isn't exactly
well loved, so I find his contributions bring good balance. I'll take the
occasional drizzled up parade in exchange for that.
