The fact that it is possible that it was careless writing... those things mean that you cannot apply what he said regarding chimeras to a person and creature type that were not being discussed.

Sure, you can say "Based on what Deaton said...." or "If what Deaton said is true and an absolute."

However, you can't say "Because Deaton said this when talking about chimeras, it MUST apply to everything, even if they were not mentioned." And, if you do this, you are implementing headcanon.

Sorry, that's just reality.
