The biggest problem with going from Yoshi statements (tm) is that they are usually taken in far to literal a manner. The context and sidenotes get buried and people quickly view it as a black and white, right or wrong argument. The reality isn't anything like that and even Yoshida himself acknowledges this in some of his interviews. It's just that when people use that statement to try and back their views on this topic. They typically don't show that part of the quote

The actual reality is much more nuanced than these forums would often like to admit.
