This is going to sound ignorant, but as a kid when watching Spidey on TV, at the beginning of each episode I'd hear 'Stan Lee presents'. I'd see that in comic books and read Stan's Soapbox. So they can come up with whatever proof they want (valid or invalid) but I'll always be on Stan Lee's side. He's one of the things I associate most with Spidey from when I was young.
Let me understand this: you're on Stan's side because they stuck his name on cartoons and comics?  There has to be more to it than that.  And, crediting Kirby doesn't diminish Stan's contributions to the Marvel universe. Also, what I associate most iwth Spider-Man is Steve Ditko.
