The term "verify" comes from the Latin word "Veritas" which means "truth", so if he is right, and he most certainly is, then it IS worth noting on the wiki. And for the record, plenty of others have confirmed via playthroughs that this is indeed the case as well.

I might as well also point out something else: There's a pretty big hint very early into the game that Venom Snake is NOT Big Boss: The player while doing the exercises done by those who get out of a coma is asked for their name, and the player has to give their birth date, and their name. The name actually can be chosen by the player. If it was actually Big Boss, the only thing the player actually has to worry about regarding their identity is their birthday, since the name will be filled out for them (since we know Big Boss's canon real name: John). Look here if you don't believe me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsLz95o_G2g&feature=youtu.be

So brick wall it is then.

Knock it off Weedle, nobody gives a damn about the Latin roots of words, don't you think you've made a big enough fool of yourself today?

Lol, so being able to put in your own name proves it's not Big Boss? Horse shit I say. I guess being able to put your own name on Raiden's dogtags proves he's not really Raiden right? Because we all know his real name is Jack, oh or what about all those RPG's like Final Fantasy where you can rename the characters? Does renaming them mean that their default name is no longer their real name? No, no it does not. All being able to put your name down there means is that you can put your own name down, beyond that it proves nothing.

Show me a picture of anything in the game that backs up their claims, don't have one? Then kindly go kick rocks because without proof, this is an unconfirmed claim until proven otherwise. End of discussion.
