If it's the problem of where the two are getting their information, we don't really have any proof that Ikuko's never read Eva's diary. Just saying.
That's true, and I had thought of it, but it's not a tangent I want to inject into the debate of which is better between Touya=random_amnesiac verses Touya=hired_actor (which I think is a debate of highly questionable worth in the first place). Jan-Poo is free to inject it if he wants, although he seems to have implicitly proposed that the idea is not worth consideration when he said: "If Ikuko isn't Yasu, then Touya must be Battler", so I'm going to go with that unless he says otherwise.

Yeah, but Yasu could do all this easily. Get my drift?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So why doesn't Battler's life during the last 6 years ever creep into the story?
