Assumption and confusion have always been part of this fandom IMO (i.e. Elluka and Irina being part of the "nameless patient" of BSS, "Irina Twisted-Clockworker" and TLR assumed to be the Wrath song).

We are not exactly in position to obligate people to stop making theories, assumptions or even comment a passing thought, no matter how much we may want it. Yes, people does get pissed over it, and we get freaked out over even by the smallest statements in the meantime, it's unavoidable.

However, let's not forget everything we talk in here (and outside sourcers) is a Work In Progress.

Nothing is set on stone until proven otherwise.

l decided long ago to take most of the discussion's content like a grain of sand and wait for confirmation. A lot of those previous ones were on the wikia due to previous users who didn't double-check sources, posted theories and fanon as if they wre canon, etc. The problem with posting to Tumblr is that's where a lot of people will get their information, and of course if what Misstress said doesn't turn out to be 100% the truth because she was impatient, everyone there's going to be a confused mess and go, "But wait, she said X and Y?"

It's the same problem that happened when we translated the later chapters of GIFT and SCaP all over again. And TBH it's why I don't personally blame Servy for not mentioning this--to avoid th mass confusion if the information presented wasn't correct as it was initially stated. Which I appreciate, fully. It's annoying, and while some assumptions can't be stopped (TLR = Wrath song), some can be avoided altogether if people can be patient enough to wait a few days without posting information that hasn't been double-checked yet (Irina and Elluka = split BSS patient, for example).
