I don’t think it’s like “Jacy had an interpretation in mind and then chose statements”. I think it’s more like “Jacy wanted to say things that made himself look impressive, then with motivated reasoning talked himself into thinking it was reasonable to call himself a founder of EA, because that sounded cool”.
(Within this there’s a spectrum of more and less blameworthy versions, as well as the possibility of the straight-out lying version. My best guess is towards the blameworthy end of the not-lying versions, but I don’t really know.)
