I didn't pick up on that! That's really interesting, yes - of course with so many people dying or becoming seriously ill from radiation, the story probably couldn't get corrected once it got started...

It may even have been extremely convenient for the Pilots' Guild to encourage that version -- after all, if you're placing yourselves in the position of overlords, it's always nice to have a mythic founding figure to point to: "Naturally the Pilots's Guild should be in charge! Don't you believe in the descendents/personal proteges of Taylor The Great? Don't they have precedent and clear credentials for leadership?"

That sounds exactly what they would have done, yes.
