## As Takeuchi has said, the same description is in the Japanese version.
## So this is not a typo.
## However, things should not be taken out of context here.
## Take note that the description is in the glossary section at the *BEGINNING*
## of film book 9, that is after Misato (and we the audience) discovered that
## giant in terminal dogma, but *before* Kaworu states the real identity of
## the giant. That means, Gainax is deliberately fooling the reader in the
## film book just like they fooled the audience in the TV anime. If a person
## reads the film book without watching the anime first, he would have thought
## that the giant is Adam as well. Perhaps that's the idea.
