Unsupported? Seabolt wrote the thing, Bungie employees looked at it and said "very good." You can't get any more supported than that.

And the evidence for the Head being Moagim is about as good as the evidence for him being Donald Duck. There was never *any* positive evidence for the Head's identity for Moagim--it was just that some theories (and this was definitely not the consensus opinion of all Myth theorists) required the Head to be an ex-bad guy and the main one who sprang to mind was Moagim. He was picked because they didn't know anyone more appropriate.

As for other serious conflicts--to my knowledge they've all been minor things, like the relative running speeds of Ghols and Mauls, and whether Jmen partially absorb every blow or completely absorb a few blows, and spelling errors. And even the survival of the Deceiver is not (with apologies to Forrest) sufficiently impossible to be deemed a factual error. We were arguing over that long before GURPS came out, and it was never completely resolved.
