Thank you. Yes, I had missed that. Pity it doesn't add "just like his dad."
Might have made life a bit easier for the poor old theoriser.

I wouldn't trust  me as an expert on canon if I were you.
I like to think of canon as, well, negotiable.
When it supports my arguments I'll quote it ad nauseam, when it doesn't,
it's all a matter of interpretation really, isn't it? 
Very good for raising other  poster's blood pressures; lot of fun, too.
But don't tell anyone.
