I thought after so many MGS games, we should know that whatever information given through any character's comment, except those that had been shown on-screen, could all be retcon by the convenient reason that the character in question were falsely informed. Just to name a few examples:

1. Octacon said at the end of MGS2 that the Patriots were all dead for 100+ years by then, but eventually Snake said in MGS4 Act 2 that what Octacon got at the time were "a whole load of crap" which is not the truth.

2. Nastasha Romaneko implied in "In the Darkness of Shadow Mosses" (in MGS2) that it was Snake who freed Naomi from the post-MGS1 imprisonment. Also in MGS4 Act 2, Snake countered that with his speculation that it was in fact Liquid Ocelot who did it.

3. We were all led to believe Sokolov was killed by Volgin in MGS 3, but were later told that it was the fake death pill (note: we don't have an on-screen of his MGS 3 "death")

Let's not forget Liquid was wrong about being the recessive clone, so his comment on being taken from a Big Boss at the late 50s could well be wrong. If we stick with the fact that Liquid's background was so poorly detailed (becoz it was so highly classified), anything can happen before his MGS1 days. By extension, we could even hear later that the MGS1 Miller art work was in fact Liquid (we only get to see his face on the codec screen before MGSPW. After all he is technically dead before MGS1 begins)
