We are not discussing a way to make sense of the contradictions that exist in a character's history. Even then, those conclusions are still of speculative nature at best.

Something that also differentiates Sue and Reed's retcon from the changes applied to Iron Man's origin is the fact that something like Wong-Chu being omitted is vague so arguing against it isn't hard. The editorial intent behind the changes made to Reed and Sue's first meeting was made abundantly clear, it shouldn't be up in the air whether they did meet while Sue was an adult or a teenager. And even if the reader decides to interpret it the other way, the annotation shouldn't urge that specific decision.
