I think you're taking this too literally though (as you've said, right down to the "exact words") and I believe your viewing my words under the conext of The Boss's final actions. Allow me to distinguish which "part" for The Boss's ideals that Snake actualized, and that is the desire to bring harmony and peace among everyone (as cheesy as that sounds). Remember The Boss had a split mind between being a loyal soldier with a realist mindset and an aspiring liberal idealist, but in the end she ended up falling under the former due to the fact that it's what she knew best. One could say that the results of Solid Snake's mentality practically surpassed The Boss's, since The Boss never actualized her own dreams and held a defeatist mentality by being a loyal soldier as opposed to being loyal to herself. THAT's the part I'm referring to when I say that Solid Snake embodied The Boss's ideals.
