Asking Ken Levine would lead nowhere, as he would probably evade the question (if he even replies it in the first place).

Now for what I was saying, I'm pretty sure considering Suchong's death in BaS as the canon one may not affect too much BioShock 2. I honestly believe Suchong would not be the only one to work on the program and him working only on expensive Bouncers when Ryan was cheap in the resources he provided could mean Alexander and the rest of the genetic research department of Fontaine Futuristics were working with (cheaper but unstable) Alpha Series on their side, perfecting a pair bond mechanism which would reveal later to be a failure as it broke the protectors' sanity. Someone asked me on the Irrational Games forums about Delta's presence during the New Year's Eve and this is what I replied:

It could have been field testing, just like the Bouncer at the Department Store, probably even orchestrated by Lamb so that she could get her daughter back. Speaking of which, the original version for the game's playable introduction had Lamb leading Delta during the New Year's Eve celebrations in order to recover Eleanor, betraying him at the end. The definitive version of this introduction can't be too far from this one. Another fact about the Alpha Series: apart from Delta, there are no mention of them doing their duty in districts other than the research facilities. As I said, they were merely used as (ADAM-overdosed) guinea pigs, and not as robust as the Bouncers and Rosies which were multitasking, so I don't call that a plot hole.

And for Tenenbaum's vanishing, I don't recall exactly where the plot hole was, but I believe she either quit Fontaine Futuristics before its nationalization and refused to work with Ryan Industries. Also as seen in BaS, Ryan hid that fact and used her disappearance from the public eye to make people believe she was working for him. That Need to Know theater sounded too phony to be true, and supposedly what's her singing (without an ounce of German accent) in the theme song of the Little Wonders facility on Market Street is even believable.
