My 'impatient' comment comes from the fact that you seem to assume that everything that's up so far is all you need to make a judgement on what Kawamori's pov is.
From what I can tell, that hasn't changed since that 1998 interview. For me, the clincher appears in the Master Files - though I only have access to one of them - but this won't be going up for a while.
In other words, neither my pov nor yours matters (either on canon or on what Kawamori actually thinks) - Kawamori's does, and I don't think you have enough information to make a judgement on what that is yet.
It also amazes me that you put so much stock in possible interpretations of what the creators say in interviews, but seemingly refuse to accept interpretation of scenes / incidents in the series that differ from yours.

I would actually like to know when he started talking about Macross like this, because it's certainly one of the more interesting stances I've seen a creator take. And I personally like it better than the one that George Lucas takes...(or the one that the RahXephon creators supposedly take wrt the movie and the series...)

I guess what I am saying is its fine going the nothing is real approach, but wouldn't you have to accept robotech as the red headed step child? If that's the case forget all these license problems. Have Global fire up the peace pipe and pass it to the left cuz the right ways wrong! Can't we all just get along.

Not necessarily, because - according to the 'different interpretations' idea - what's important are the works (series, movies, novels, Master Files etc) that are supposedly produced
in the Macross universe. For example, Macross II isn't considered to be one of those works, and that is reflected in the official chronology. Needless to say, Robotech isn't one either.
For the moment,
here's a Westerner's perspective from before 1997.
Here's the chronology compiled on the Macross Compendium. On each page, you can click on the "history" to see where the information has come from. The chronology I'm intending to put up here is more 'bare-bones' than that, for reasons I will state when I put it up.
