My point is not that planting fake memories is impossible. I\'m sure they\'d just find some poor expendable sucker, tell him a whole lot of bullshit, then leak the idea that said sucker has sensitive information. My point is that Alex did not learn he was Blacklight from stolen memories; he learned it from [=McMullen=], and then Cross, when he \'\'spoke\'\' to them personally. And then Alex confirmed it himself, in a lengthy narration.

And here\\\'s that interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTjXH9HfTyg Ken Rosman. \\\"He\\\'s not Alex Mercer, he\\\'s the Blacklight virus in Alex Mercer\\\'s form.\\\" I\\\'ve seen the one you spoke of, Ether, and the phrasing is more ambiguous (and less thought-out) that you suggest - Rosman said they wanted to \\\"hint\\\" that the Alex at the end of the game \\\"might not be the real Alex\\\". Whether that was the result of reconstructing himself after being blown apart, his infection, or his death in Penn Station, Rosman doesn\\\'t say. Which, to me, sounds very much like he was being purposely vague or that he misspoke. Either way, there\\\'s a lot of evidence (if you need to call the game stating it outright more than once \\\"evidence\\\" as opposed to \\\"blindingly obvious fact\\\") that Alex is not the original, spiteful mad scientist bastard Alex, but the Blacklight virus animating that man\\\'s corpse and assuming his name.
