I personally think he has a point: for example, about 10 years ago, I read Black Hawk Down and then saw the film. They are different, and some of the changes were made so that it would flow better on screen, others because they wanted to distance themselves from a real person because of what he did in subsequent years (or so I've heard). However, is the book the 'real story' of what happened in Modagishu in 1993? Nope. At best, it's what one person has put together based on a lot of other documents, and also what many of the people involved told him. And even those people aren't completely represented in either book or film, or even both combined. I find it interesting to think about Macross along similar lines. That said, I interpret his 'parallel worlds' comment as saying that he doesn't mind how fans and viewers decide they want to look at it. It's just that if you ask Kawamori himself, 'different representations of a real history' is how he has created/supervised everything Macross for quite a few years. So, as I've noted before, it's entirely up to you what you want to make of Macross 'canon'. Thank you! I'll add that to the info post too

This article about 'listening' and story-telling in African culture isn't directly related to this topic, but I think it's an interesting point to consider when comparing Kawamori's approach to what quite a few (Westernized) fans seem to want...

For the record, I've added the disclaimers from more of the Variable Fighter Master Files Series to the second post. Interestingly, the majority of them were published in-universe in Macross City, the exceptions being the VF-25 encyclopedia/reference (Macross Olympia) and the VF-22 encyclopedia/reference (the Planet Eden).
