I read ADWD before the short stories, so didn't put two and two together at that point (in fact, I thought the three eyed crow was someone else, until I thought about it further and decided it couldn't be) When I later read the short stories, I sussed it out..from 'a thousand eyes and one.'
All I'm saying is that I wouldn't place any large bets on us not being hoodwinked by a very large red herring..GRRM has shocked me many times before, he could well do it again, though in this case, I will admit it's highly doubtful, particularly if he's stated that we were meant to correlate the information given in the Dunk and Egg story with the three eyed crow business. Anyway, we'll see in the fullness of time...sooner rather than later, I hope!
