I didn't like the whole Veritas story much but I lived with it. I thought the Eternal (Doomsday coming down in the meteor carrying Kal-El's ship) explanation was reasonable to start with but fell away i.e. Lionel (and the members of Veritas) knew the Traveler was coming and had his men on the case at the crash site, but they grabbed Davis instead of Kal-El. Davis was then found to be an angry beast and cast out by Lionel as a kid. Why didn't Lionel then go back to the folks who found the meteor strike. Surely the LuthorCorp guys at the crash site saw the Kents (apparently not). Lionel and young Lex ended up in the truck with the Kents as Jono carried the ship back to the farm (but had to detour to SMC).
With the Metropolis United Charities adoption business, surely Lionel would have put 2 and 2 together to realize Clark was the Traveler. But he showed no clear indication that he knew Clark was Kal-El until Season 5. This is where the retconn made least sense.
