First of all, I do not recall saying that "it was going to stay the same no matter what the senior editor at Marvel thought." I granted that Marvel would ditch the Earth-616 designation, but highlighted that it was obviously a result from Brevoort's personal opinions. I recall stating I would continue using it personally, not that I was going to impose the "Earth-616" designation in here.

Secondly, the reason I defended Brevoort's position in this matter is because I considered his stance not being based on a personal interpretation, but because he knows what happened as facts (unlike the handbook writer who read the book and interpreted it) because he worked with the writer of the event. And in the end, when the writer was asked about the issue at hand, he directed Annabell to Brevoort's initial answer.
