The scan literally implies that some secret clut worshipped and praised Yog accrediting it as that. So it being an “implication” is still correct.

Reader interpretation, thats why it is vague on purpose, no confirmation that the being speaking to carter was even Yog, it's just an implication, and Lovecraft didn't put a power roster on his entities for the sake of power dictation
Either way, people are trying too hard to incorporate Price's cosmological ideas with the rest of the mythos, even if TtGotSK was largely rewritten by Lovecraft himself.

No? it's pretty blatantly stated that Yog sothoth is just another name for Supreme Archetype, they are the same.
"That which crustaceans have worshipped as YOG SOTHOTH"

Lovecraft clearly identified Price's "Supreme Archetype" as Yog.

Not at all was what was being said by the scan especially since you didn't factor in “which certain secret cults of earth have whispered of as YOG-SOTHOTH.” That literally means that it's not universally viewed and Lovecraft makes no direct implication of it. Anything to suggest that it was blatantly mentioning “Yog” would be an implication.

Yes, "certain secret cults" just means some of them identified this entity as Yog. I don't think Lovecraft is trying to distinguish the two.

“Some” of them who do believe and identify Yog would still mean it's not universally true.

The thing with Lovecraft's stories is that it looks like there are almost two different cosmologies there. One is for Azathoth and one for Yog. They are also NEVER compared and the only 2 stories I can think of them being mentioned in the same stories are "whisperer of darkness" and "hunter of the dark" and even then, they don't have anything to do with each other.
Kinda weird.

I mean if someone is willing to revise the Cosmology and present their case on who should be at the top with a voting system. Then, I would support what the majority thinks, and if the CRT is viable and good enough to explain who should scale to the Supreme Archetype and get 0.
