analysis - Did Rutledge lie about the "Source Code"? - Movies & TV

Rutledge (Jeffrey Wright) explains that the Source Code is not actually time travel, but merely a computer "construct" or "simulation", using the last 8 minutes of memory a person has (in this case: Sean Fentress)



But when Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) manages to procure information Sean Fentress couldn't have in his memory (e.g. where the bomb was, what car the terrorist was driving, the licence plate of that car,...) Rutledge does not question the reliability of this information.



This made me wonder if Rutledge knew all along that the "Source Code" would allow Stevens to do more than just explore Fentress's last 8 minutes of memories.



Do any interviews with cast or crew, or DVD extras, shed more light on whether Rutledge was aware of what the "Source Code" could really do?
