When Kirkbride says that Aldmeris "isn't a real thing," he's explaining that it's more complicated than just being the homeland of the Elves. I suppose you could say that it's not a physical location, rather it's the idea of one, if that makes any sense. Q: Why did Vivec+Nerevar visit A(l)tmora and not Aldmeris, if they're the mannish/merrish perspectives of proto Tamriel?

A: Aldmeris is not a real thing.

Also, I'd very much like to know why Kirkbride saying Aldmeris isn't a real thing suddenly goes above Bethesda having stated that Aldmeris is a thing? There are a few (not many) texts that speak of Aldmeris, I don't recall a single ingame text that disproves of the existance of Aldmeris, but because Kirkbirde says it it's suddenly true?

Don't forget that Kirkbride himself even states that he contributes to C0DA, yet C0DA isn't canon. Unless if Kirkbride saying, to a question directed to him, He'll make an appearance in C0DA suddenly means that he won't be writing it.
