If he said that, then sure, I'll believe it. I don't recall him ever saying that. Not to say that he didn't, but I would like to see/hear it again, for myself.

I was always under the assumption that the bit about the beta being the only one who could take it was a notion from season 5A. I don't remember anything mentioned about it before that, but I could be wrong.

If he didn't say it, then again... at BEST we can say we simply do not know anything for certain.
