I was thinking this merits its own topic now since the subject has been discussed many times in other threads.
Until BOG/FNF and the slew of absolutely terrible plot holes Toriyama brewed up through his writing and "explanations," I tried following them but honestly can't say things he says in random interviews mean shit anymore. Many people play the "he's the creator" argument and I used to think that a good enough reason to give him a pass with the absurd shit he makes up, but the problem is that he says things in new interviews during the same timeframe that openly contradict what he said - case in point being his statement that everyone was at their peak during the BOG events, yet he says during the same timeframe that Goku is a 6 to Beerus's 10 and has the potential to grow stronger the more he fights, as well as that he intends to make Goku and Vegeta stronger but not as strong as Beerus and Whis.
Many more interviews are contradicted by Super on the regular, which he openly considers a part of his own storyline with direct input that Toyotaro and Toei expanded on. At this point I can't help but use the "AT is senile" card because he himself doesn't consider his own interviews to be worth following in stories he is involved in, not that I think he even remembers them in the first place when he's gone back on old interviews decades before the new material was even a thing.
I only consider his interviews even remotely authoritative when he says things that don't really affect the overall storyline, like #16's human model being Gero's son, since nothing he says will really ever be considered in his own writings.
