Perhaps, Bill Motz was one of the writers that worked on Simba's Pride when both Kovu and Nuka was originally conceived as Scar's sons, and left before that was rewritten which would explain his answer. In this case, I don't think his answer is that reliable. The movie speaks for itself that Kovu was mentioned twice to not be Scar's son. As for Nuka, he doesn't call Scar by any familial term (Dad, Father, etc.), and it appears he was passed over from being heir because he looks physically weak.
