A Harvard statistician examined the musical signatures of both Beates and concluded thatLennon's story was true: Lennon had written most of the song, and McCartney may have helped with the middle eight.
There's a similar dispute with regard to the *lyrics* of "Eleanor Rigby." Lennon claimed in 1972 that the lyric is "both of us," but that "I wrote a good lot of the lyrics, about 70%."
McCartney, however, states that "John helped me on a few words, but I'd put it down to 80 - 20 me."
On another occasion, McCartney recalls he had read that Lennon had helped with the song's lyrics, and he sneered: "Yeah, maybe on half a line."
Which account is most accurate and why?

I just checked a local phonebook, and, yeah, you're probably right.
McCartney *may* have meant "the next name in the book that started with 'Mc' and had a total of three syllables."
His memory may have failed him, as it did with "In My Life" or his not remembering the "beautiful blonde girl" who tried to remind him in the 80s that they had slept together once.
I think Paul's also up for inventing the occasional cute story.

Right, the songs speak for themselves; there's no need to make anything up. However,
Paul claimed he taught Elvis bass licks when they met (which is highly unlikely, since two years later he couldn't jam with Jefferson Airplane in the Haight because Casady's bass was right-handed).
