Doubt he's even heard of the exponential growth formula.
Won't stop him, though. He still thinks it holds more relevance than the statements that other Force-users were stronger than Vader and the consensus that he wouldn't be able to kill Tyth or survive the devastation of a planet.

Author intent isn't infallible and can be overriden, but if they're just elaborating on their own works and their claims aren't contradicted by canonical information, then it's worth taking into account.
Their opinions on the outcomes of fights or something are irrelevant.
I didn't say it's canon; I said it's worth taking into account. Much like TSLRCM or DS options.
To suggest than an author's clarification of something that he wrote, especially if it isn't contradicted by any canonical material whatsoever, is completely not worth factoring in at all, is confirmation bias. Their claims might be fallible but they know better.

The people who don't think of it as canon will still believe that it's usable. That's the approach I'm taking. It should apply to everyone other than blatant agenda-peddlers.

We may have disagreements over some official aspects of the lore at times since the lore is continously expanding (conventional wisdom is that new information takes precedence over older information but older information does not looses its validity completely and should not be discarded without context). In these situations, clarification from the relevant author on the relevant matter is a meaningful way to address a 'case of uncertainty' in it.

This seems obvious enough, unsure why it's contested. The author knows best about their own work, so as far as I'm concerned, if an author or a creative leader says something about THEIR project, it's just as valid as the source itself.
