I also thought about this possibility. But I actually didn't find any other example. If this is the only example like that I just can't trust it's a tease.

"I want to mention, for those who would be skeptical, that the information being brought up twice by the author himself (while Kurosawa Jin is not readable for the reader as we can't read the first and the last kanj), I strongly doubt that he would have fun giving false useless information. I also doubt that the editors asked Aoyama to give false informations to the readers on details that they wouldn't have even noticed themselves. That is why, even if as of today Aoyama hasn't clearly and officially said : "Uouka Saburo is Vodka's name and Kurosawa Jin is Gin's name", I can only consider these informations as official until the author says otherwise or writes something that would contradict this information in his work."
It goes down to this:
Some person reached that conclusion. Are we going to rely on a fan-based conclusion that has not truly been confirmed? People can choose to agree with this conclusion or not. But I don't think it'll enter to our "facts" list without a real confirmation from Gosho.
On that note, it is also very possible that this mystery will never be solved and Gosho will never mention this again.

Ok, I pretty agree with this explanation. It sounds more logical than just saying it's a tease.

And I wanted to say my idea isn't a theory based only on facts.
"We therefore have a few reasons to think that the name Kurosawa Jin could be Gin's real name."
that's why I asked you your opinion on the point.

Well this is actually exactly what I think about this point.

And that's maybe the reason why I will still consider it as a proper element of the background of the DC universe.
"yes, yes, I did write it in the register. And next to it, we don't see it very clearly but Kurosawa Jin is written. "
I would be glad to hear some other informations from Gosho interview where he gave himself informations which weren't true at all.

Also Your suggestion that Gin and Vodka follow Hairaba around is what I am questioning

1) As I already said why. At that point Hairaba was no threat to leave the BO, so no guard needed.
2) If you check the case where Hairaba first appears you will notice she herself checked out Shinichi house, it shows her with two others and they are not GIN and VODKA. Again why would they go to the island and not go to check on Shinichi Death?

Don't you think having a pair of guys in black in a remote area like mermaid island will be distinguishable and making people remember them?

Still can't find out why Sherry had to put her real name there, it's not like how BO works (even they have codes among themselves, why they even give their real name out easily).

I don't think Aoyama thought about these details. In my opinion he added these names as a reference and nothing else.
We know Aoyama and his assistants love playing on words when they choose the name of the different characters (he said that in different interviews from the data books). So I don't think he draw these details to hide something important he wanna use in the future.

For me there is no need to find a reason or a logic why Haibara was there or not.

But anyway, you can have a different point of view. That's not a problem.
I try to imagine what the mangaka may think when he draw the story. Of course I try to bear in mind the logic of the DC universe but I know that the mangaka also has his habits or there are the requests of the editor which may totally differ from the logic of the universe.
