See, it could still go both ways. Remember how I was saying that the alternate version of events (that Reed and Sue first met when they were adults) was a matter of perspective.

Crack open -{{c|Fantastic Four #255|255}. In that story, Taranith Gestal steals Reed Richard's mind to power his ship. This is important because, in, Reed explains that the experience left gaps in his memories. One of the items he points out is that he cannot remember the color of his mother's eyes and the finer details of his battle with Gormuu prior to the Fantastic Four's first space flight.

To quote Reed in this story (Page 6, Panel 2):

"... There are some other things, substantial gaps and holes in my memory."

This could also explain how Sue remembers things one way, and Reed remembers them sometime else. It can also be used to explain all the other contradictions Reed makes or things he forgets (Such as reuniting with his father while at State University in by the time he goes looking for his father in Fantastic Four #271, the very issue where he brings up these memory lapses)

Also, your argument about the annotations for Iron Man do make suggestions on how to interpret different things. Check them out (emphasis added):

Note #10: "This account specifically states that this terrorist organization was the Taliban. However this should be considered a topical reference per the Sliding Timescale of Earth-616. This account appears to omit the involvement of Wong-Chu in the origin of Iron Man. This is counter to all other established origin stories and later tales that confirm that Wong-Chu was a central player in Iron Man's origin. As the origin provided in Iron Man Vol. 4 is heavily abridged, one could assume it was omitted for the sake of faster pacing."

Note #11: "This account states that Stark and a group of soldiers were attacked by members of the Taliban. This should be considered a topical reference in relation to the date the story was published per the Sliding Timescale"

... and so on.

They do make suggestions on how things can or should be interpreted.

I don't see anyone else having at the admin level chiming in with an issue with the page as it is. So I don't see any further reason to explain to you why it will stay the way it is.
