For Geoff's son it could be either - there is a good deal of info that was left out concerning many characters within the games themselves and cut content that we only found out later - female City Watch, notes on some of the gangs like the Parliament Street Cutters, etc.

Conversely, what to me was the abrupt change in the Outsider's attitude, background, mannerisms, appearance and weirdly tacked-on backstory from D1 and D2 was something that was 'always meant to be' according to Harvey Smith and we just apparently didn't understand it.

-cough- retcon -cough-

In the end, I guess it doesn't matter since we have the creator's input?

As for Lizzy Stride and other new information, I see no reason to keep looking for examples of what is contradictory with established lore. Most wikis have the AGF (Assume Good Faith) intention behind all new edits and data presented. Unless shown clear evidence that new information absolutely contradicts what we already know, our immediate assumption should not be that it is in fact a contradiction.

If we are going to go by your logic, then any new information, data, lore, etc that is revealed is automatically contradictory since we did not know it before the arrival of the RPG book. I'm not willing to pursue that way of thinking just yet.

Occam's Razor - the simplest solution is usually the correct solution.

I'm not saying that there aren't going to be mistakes; there could be. It just won't be my first supposition.
