I mean, if we went with authorial intent all the time, Wolverine would've been 19 years old when he joined the X-Men, and his claws were part of his gloves. (As Len Wein stated in X-Men Companion #1, the original intent being listed as Earth-74135 on the Master List.)

Ok, that didn't add anything to the discussion, but I thought it was a cool tidbit.

As for Major X, source material should take precedence over a statement if the statement in question contradicts whats shown in-story. Unless a future story confirms Rob's intent, it probably shouldn't be considered as fact for the time being since in the real world, the future is uncertain.
