That's exactly true--shown to the players differently, Wuk Lamat wouldn't have drove so many of us up a wall. She's a perfectly fine character that got shown to the players in a way that was a serious disservice to the character and thus to us.

He's not saying it directly, but he is saying, 'Yes, we botched how we handled Wuk Lamat.'
But also he stated that he believed she had a parent complex and wasn't confident. Based on what we saw, this isn't the case. She didn't show having any kind of "complex", Koana kinda did, but not Garfield. More importantly the "confidence" thing makes absolutely no sense with how she acted throughout 90% of the story. In short, I don't think Yoshi-P actually looked over the final story that was present. It seems like he saw an early draft, then it was changed and nobody told him.
