I hope by "you" you meant "in general".
Also, I don't know what you're talking about. It seems that both sides of the story are true.
Elaborate on "both sides of the story are true" if you don't mind?

Not quite sure which sides we're comparing.
What Boo said is that even though Classic is not in, some people still persist in saying Classic is in (which probably means they aren't following all the news).
After following this topic for a while, I feel inclined just to say the following few things:
1. Any news article can only have a certain level of truth in it. Sometimes editors make errors in their article, others might have to withold info. Of course MULPTIPLE articles confirming the same sort of thing make something more likely, and previews that discuss gameplay in some detail provide more solid evidence. (Note: news article includes our podcast we're not immune to errors

)
2. It's only a big deal if we keep bouncing around fruitless comments which don't make either side happy. Also, no-one really appreciates moral referees (myself having somewhat experienced it myself

).
3. Obvious point of course, people are entitled to their opinions, but don't force them on others - that's not fair

4. For the series, an evolution may be the best course of action. Of course returning to something familiar will be accepted by most of the fanbase, but a new start might equally develop a whole new and possibly broader audience for which the game is enjoyed by. I'm sure an Iwata Asks or something similar will explain the reasons as to why the game is taking the non-Classic approach it is now (also will it return in the future or no

)
5. There is no point in locking the topic just yet even though it seems almost guaranteed that it isn't in. Surely speculation could also include 'what if' scenarios that won't happen but are fun to discuss anyways'?
Sorry for mixing up summary and topic contribution into one post btw XD
