Well I can cop to my own waking state ignorance, but I never heard MMY deny the details or the caste system contained in the Vedic texts in this way. Sanatana Dharma is in full support for the caste system and Guru Dev was its champion. So even though your point may be valid in MMY's system for the 4 main Vedas, the texts that came later make specific claims about the world. One of those details are the structure of the caste system which is supported by MMY every time he talks about it. If what you said was true of the later texts, there would be no Ayur or Stapatya Vedas with their detailed instructions.
