You can't 'cherry-pick' which information you choose to believe from the show itself unless there is reason to believe that something that was previously stated in-series has been subesquently retconned, something that has not happened with regards to Regina's statement about grafting Jefferson and Victor into the Dark Curse herself.

You also can't 'cherry-pick' which information that is imparted by the actors/writers you choose to believe as relevant and/or accurate. Either you accept actor and writer statements as being canonical "word of god" across the board, or you summarily reject self-same statements across the board.
