The text in general is not meant to represent the participants' entire presentations. The lecture presenters in general are not responsible for the summaries, and cannot necessarily be assumed to agree with all that is stated, but they deserve credit for providing the lecture and handout material on which the summaries are based, and in most cases have contributed far more to the summaries than I have.
