"I'm going to ignore this because this other thing said something different" isn't reconciliation. Which is what retconning on this site amounts to.
If reinterpreting something results in fixing the problem, that certainly is reconciliation.
Also the users on this site don't retcon - retcon would imply we were actually contributing something official to the franchise, and we're not. We're interpreting things other people have officially created, that's a pretty important distinction.
'Aliens' retconned the existence of a Queen into the (off-screen) backstory of 'Alien'. The fans making up explanations for incorporating egg-morphing anyway is not a retcon. The AvPR blu-ray mentioning egg-morphing, however, could be seen as a retcon since it's officially licensed material.
