It was carried out due to low quality of the original sound recordings, and they decided to tweak a few lines from the original translation while they did so. Some lines might have been altered to be closer to the Japanese script, but others were left as they were, e.g. Big Boss falling into a coma, rather than being made sterile as in the Japanese script (a point that is revisited in MGS3).

Back on topic, Liquid meeting Big Boss in the '80s remains a possibility. Exactly, even the TTS dialogue was slightly different, I don't think any games after MGS2 contradicts with what was delivered in TTS - which is what matters.

Hey but then BB falling into a coma is not mutually exclusive with being made sterile right? (although once can say the MGS1/TTS script could get straight to the sterile point instead)
