The thing about Kiefer voicing Snake was that it was never explicitly stated he was voicing "Big Boss", it was always just "Snake". This was seized (by many others besides PythonSelkan) to mean that he could be a different Snake, and not Big Boss. While it was an interesting idea (as it would be quite crafty to hide the protagonist's true identity that way), the body double theory was pursued to a ridiculous extent because of this.
