It is precisely the core of the problem.

That's pretty normal considering the fact that the Table Talks contain a mishmash of things said by all the people who were assisting to such talks, not only Hitler words, but also because Bormann himself edited the text to make it more suitable to his own thought.
It is also normal because people who were close to Hitler often integrated things said in Mein Kampf that were factually false in their own memory. Jetzinger shows that especially well in his -still highly relevant yet too ignored- Hitler's youth. The same process happened with the Table Talks due to the high credit given to them, because the Mémoires of such actors were usually published 5, 10 (or more, for example Speer's) years after the publication of the Table Talks.
A last thing is the fact that people can modify things to make it fit their own agenda. Traces of such things obviously exist.

Nilsson was not even mentioned once in the thread when his work explains in depth. It is probably the most groundbreaking when it comes to the analysis of these sources.
