Um, you find the fact that they list Elves and dwarves as UGE births,
and Orks and Trolls as goblinization, but not that E's and D's WEREN'T
also goblinized a lack of proof? Seems like you are simply reaching
to try and prove your conclusion by saying no one has proven
otherwise, despite tons of circumstantial evidence...
I know there was a blip in SR2 about this near the race descriptions,
in the same place where half-breeds are denied...I don't have my book
at work...

Goblinizations happened some years after UGE births.

I know 50 year old humans who look 30, and 30 year olds that look 50.
Not everyone has to fit the perfect rule...

Who doesn't fit many rules, perfect or otherwise
