In any case, I think it's assuming too much that Johns knows in depth what Morrison intended. Much like how Whedon misunderstood Morrison on X-men, much like Slott misunderstood JMS on Spider-man, these things happen. And often times, most people never truly understand what Morrison intends until he explains himself anyways.
Yeah that's almost always the case with Morrison, his explanations of his stories in interviews and such are always WAY better than the actual stories themselves IMO. He seems to have all these crazy interesting concepts jumping around in his head but just can't seem to get them down on paper effectively, they too often end up a convoluted mess like Final Crisis. That's just my opinion.
