That's because the context of the interview is made up- it is made-up stuff intercut with what he really did say to Cut Magazine.
That doesn't seem objectionable, Bilb. So long as no direct contradiction is being made to GL's statement that the Balance of the Force is not destroyed until after Anakin turns, any theory works.

I must say you two are making different arguments. JP is saying that this erosion is a slow process over time (the sand scales, ect.) and ush if I understand correct your saying that the prcess happens in one event. So thats the real argument correct?
Not quite. There is a process of destroying Balance- that process is not complete, and therefore the Balance is not actually destroyed, until after Anakin turns.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Did I ever say anything about when it was destroyed????????? NO!
I said it goes out of balance with the appeance of the Sith. For the love of God read what I write. This is my whole point. It's not about when the balance is finally destroyed, or when it's brought back. It's when it actually SHIFTS out of balance.

So can we end this now? PLEASE? This is what I said on page one of this thread anyway! Good Lord we are all stubborn! 😆

Until the Balance is destroyed, it is still Balanced.
ARGH! Where is the beating the head on the computer smilie???
So, if you use that logic. If you drop a teaspoon of sand back on those scales they are still in balance until a rock (Anakin) comes along and gets dropped there?
Actually, to be accurate, I never said the Balance is gone once Anakin turns, merely that GL says the Sith do it AFTER he turns, and I cannot think of an event that suits that better than the destruction of the Jedi.
And killing Sidious restores the Balance... err, that's as complex as it gets. Clearly, either state it not perfect or irreversible.
