I don't remember where exactly I read it (I believe Matt himself said it on the Ben 10 Q&A forums), but Derrick sits in and makes a lot of ideas. He's basically a producer without the official title to prove it.

Thanks for clearing that up. It makes sense, really. Anyway, the Ben 10 franchise is a collaborative effort. No one person does it all, so it is incorrect to believe that Dwayne or Derrick or anyone else is responsible for everything that happens. Now, I rather doubt that any of the creators would just make up information and post it; even if making up stuff for the story is in the job description, they want to keep the facts straight. So this means one of a few things. (1.)  This is an official fact. It was decided upon by the creative team. If this is the case, what Dwayne may have said is inconconsequential. (2.)  This is so minor that Derrick can say what he wants. If this is the case, it seems almost too obscure to argue about. (3.) This is, as Superbike10 suggested an opinion. It is therefore definitely not worth the argument.

I lean toward the latter options.
