Eastman refers to Shredder as "Karai's father" in Ult. collection 5

How did nobody catch this? I haven't seen anyone post it yet, so I'm going to say it now. Anyone who has Ultimate Collection #5 quickly go to page 107 and look at the Eastman annotations on the bottom left. This is the issue where Karai is dressed in Shredder's armor. This is what Eastman says:

"April and Robyn at the Second time around shop wrapping up this part of her life - and being spotted by Mike, while Don convinced him to keep quiet, which then ties wonderfully to Karai entering as Shredder, dressed as her father to confuse the Elite..."

Wow. I know Eastman has been out of the Turtle loop for a while, and probably confused with both IDW and Nick's Karai, but he actually claimed Oroku Saki was Karai's father in the Ultimate Collection. This will probably make new readers to the Mirage material think Karai and Shredder are related too.

Quite shocking nobody caught this, can anyone here scan the page so everyone can see it? It's kinda amusing, especially since Shredder's actual daughter "Pimiko" later shows up in Image Volume 3.
