Readers dedicating time to this thread will discern that the author of "obvious errors" , Bagheera, does not propose or uphold any other alternative theories to Class 2-A souls in the MP Evas and has only intensified efforts to discredit that single theory. Having an agenda is having something which is to be done, discredit is what is to be done, along the way turning to being disrespectful, using imperative language and being dismissive upfront. I joined 19 Feb 2012. Instead of any form of Netiquette, many would see this as `stomp out the newbie' : this is what is an impressive amount of wrong.
"obvious errors" are being laid out by paraphrasing in a manipulative way, thus creating them only there. They do not convey the source meaning, instead changing what I wrote to something else in several places with a different meaning altogether. No one else is independently confirming any "obvious errors".
To the points :
Kaji's investigations tell us quite explicitly that the Marduk Institute is a front, and that there's nothing to it
The Marduk Institute is a front. A front is a facade concealing deception. A front doesn't mean there's nothing to it and it is not a meaningless void: it is an artifice. Being a front doesn't mean it did not play a role, nor that it did not carry out actions and exert authority to select, prepare and establish candidates and pilots. It was Tokyo centric and more so for the command actually behind. Point for this framework not being conducive to have American pilots for Unit 03 and 04 still stands. As pointed out, Asuka already fulfilled political representation for America in Unit 02. Yet more American pilots would have met resistance: why are the majority of the pilots Americans?
He speaks of moving the kids from class 2A to Germany to "tie up loose ends"
The conjecture about the kids moving from Class 2-A to Germany was expressed in the context of the storyboard collection which was brought up by someone else. I never wrote that they were moved to Germany in fact in any TVE nor EoE. The possibility is left open, there are no facts to cancel it. There are unfinished, unsettled details as in loose ends : the kids are monitored, they can't run away nor leave at will, it's not only pilots (it was Kensuke's phone call).
When I said the kids in the class were ordinary children, and thus not of much use to SEELE, and hence likely were not moved to Germany
The kids in Class 2-A were not ordinary. There are no errors with the layout I wrote with examples and factual reasons they are far from ordinary.
He claims Kensuke's special
Granted, I oversold the point with Kensuke's military attributes but the instances and characteristics are additive in effect, and still contribute to the proposal. In TVEpisode 1 Kensuke generates a 3D model of the entry plug.
Reichu: "Kensuke's doing it from memory - I'm actually surprised it's as accurate as it is".
He says America's in ruins after 2I
I wrote likely mostly in ruins. Ruins are across different regions and aspects (society in ruins, law & order in ruins, economy in ruins, actual rubble, etc), I did not write `absolutely, completely in ruins'. TVEpisode 21 : there were nuclear exchanges and UN headquarters had to move to Japan.
He claims there's no relation between the locality of the Branch that builds an Eva and the nationality of its pilot
The Marduk Institute and those behind as I've laid out, the diminished status of America seem factors that overbear a simplistic approach reduced to "country of the branch equals a pilot from that country".
Had the disaster not occurred it would not have been transferred
This is incorrect. The Angels were not visiting America ever. Unit 03 and Unit 04, had the disaster not occurred, were going to Tokyo.
It could have been planned beforehand for Unit 03 to have Toji's mother's soul in it or Toji could have been selected beforehand. There's no definitive order of whether the mother's soul is selected first fixing the pilot or whether the pilot with an available mother's soul is fixed first.
He says that Unit 04 was probably coreless during its test but nonetheless had a soul.
I wrote "perhaps core-less". To clarify, I meant "perhaps with the core removed" as in temporarily core-less. I did not describe any Eva that does not have a core, that was or could have been built with any sort of design that does not require a core.
