These are two absolutely different pairs of shoes!

On one side, you have those titles who were created by some producers of 
the documentary who obviously had no idea what they're doing, and then 
we have those notes which are with a very high probability the original 
notes made by Okrand made for the production of ST6 -- I mean, honestly, 
why would he make up something only to show in that documentary?

And just like with the ST5-notes from HolQeD, these words were not used 
on screen, but Okrand HAS written them.

I agree. As long as something seems wrong, I would ignore it. But this 
one interesting sentence I quoted reveals an interesting way of 
thinking, even though it surely does not answer the other question which 
started this thread.

Until it's explained in detail, we can't know for sure, I agree.
