You are right about the fog of war. The press release was prepared before the rangers had had the chance to interview everyone to figure out precisely what had happened. The PAO's office composed it based on what the Comm Center had put out, information which was initially confirmed by the responding rangers before they'd interviewed anyone in-depth (they were more focused on getting the people treated, esp the ranger).

I do agree with your assessment of the injuries inflicted by mothers in initial attacks, too. Interesting point (and one worth noting in future guidance about bear safety, IMO).
