We had this discussion before, and I don't want to waste time arguing about it again (i.e. the pre-existing tensions between characters/groups in MGS3, brevity in exposition in MGS4 to avoid distracting the focus from Big Boss/Zero, no reference to any deliberate setup, etc., etc.). You can't claim it's an "indirect" reference to MPO, because you can't prove its any sort of reference to it in the first place.

Even if it was a reference to MPO, it has nothing to do with the character of Gene himself, and adds nothing relevant to his article. My recent additions to his article discuss when the guy actually shows up in MGS4, if only briefly in flashback/artwork, during the exposition regarding Big Boss's history.
