There has even been interviews with Kojima where he has stated that while he did leave some things open at the end of MGS1, he never planned or counted on doing a sequel, and if he had, Liquid would've lived, they wouldn't have been clones, etc etc.

There's no way this could've been a master plan the entire time; in fact, he's intended to quit the series pretty much every time he makes a title. If he did quit, why would he have ever intended to expand on Big Boss, and plan so far ahead? That sort of stuff would've been left up to his successor/s.

Kojima has also retconned the coma thing, saying there was only one coma. Now it is interesting that he said you have to play until the end of TPP to understand why he was only in one coma and how LET took place, but that could literally mean anything. Could mean that despite the picture of Big Boss being painted as outraged, perhaps he willingly submitted to this project and came to regret it after it was too late? They seem to twist any minor detail however they want to suit their theory. When making a theory, you shape the theory to match the facts, not the other way around.
