I wouldn't say disregard it but we shouldn't just accept it as canon lore unless its actually meant to be that. The big argument against me right now is that I just take some J-Mod quotes as a higher reference then others. Mod Stu wrote Death of Chivalry if he wants to clarify something on his quest in a quote then I think I'll take that as cannon if mod stu said "oh saradomin was trying to kill you but he couldn't" I would take that as cannon to because he wrote the quest.
But saradomin abandoning the humans to find stronger racer that's actually creating lore, because then we know that Saradomin colonized other worlds with humans before finding New Domina and seeing as we know he was well established on New Domina before the 2nd age then that would make Saradomin older then we know him to be. That's why I don't like taking those quotes as canon because then you actually apply them to everything and what would be a small quote turns into a major lore gap which they then put in lore that will retcon that quote.
Before today I thought it was generally accepted that Saradomin was that old...
I am of the opinion that more lore is better, and because this quote doesn't contradict anything said before, i see it as a perfect opportunity for more lore. If enough people deny it, it might not happen which would be sad
as it is essentialy killing a perfectly good piece of lore. I think this is why it bother Balustan so much, from the little amount I know about him, one thing is clear,
he loves lore
. By people denying a possible opportunity for more lore, you are attacking him. I think that Instead of thinking of quotes like the one in question as problems, think of them as gifts, and they should be treasured.
