Besides, not making the games is NOT an excuse to basically try to disown them (and that's EXACTLY what he did with those bits with the spotlight and Miller's comments. If he was truly concerned with ambiguity, he'd have Miller say "can't see what the fuss is all about with those games, but oh well, the light works" and have the light work despite not being one of the core 8). Keiji Inafune, for example, did not make Mega Man X6 (and in fact, it actually conflicted with his plans for Mega Man Zero). Did he up and out disowned the game just because he wasn't involved? Heck, no! He counted it as fully canon regardless, and actually altered his planned story for the first Mega Man Zero specifically to take X6 into account. If Kojima was anything like he claimed to be regarding actually respecting people's works, he would have behaved like Inafune.
