If this is true, why do other people say David Prowse was left in the dark about the twist?

I´m quoting an article from Empire magazine June 2002

....to keep it secret Hamill was told only the night before filming;renowned leaker Dave Prowse,in the Vader suit,couldn´t be trusted at all,and was deliberately sidetracked by a bogus alternative in which Vader tells Luke, "Obi wan Kenobi is your father."Filming the real scene,Prowse knew nothing,and at the crucial moment Hamill imagined
the line.It came as much of a schock to Prowse when he saw it as it did everyone else"

I remember hearing mark hamil in an interview about the "I am your father" scene. They told him to react to a terrible, earth-shattering bit of information, and told prouse to make something up. If I remember correctly it was something along the lines of

"Mark, I stole your Car and wrecked it while you were in make-up" During one of the takes.

Back on topic, Sucks about Prowse, but when playing with someone elses toys, it's best to do as they say, lest you get asked to not play any more.
