Judgement
The skeptical, open-minded, conservative, pacifist
So you two can't even get your facts straight on just what exactly Kamiya said. Either he said "fan opinion doesn't matter at all" or he recognizes that the story is heavily flawed in terms of continuity (I guess this makes him no longer Japanese) and is content letting fans settle it and gives them all validity in a Death of the Author way.
I don't think you are following. He said this is basically is how the companies see it and therefore it is settled as far as we (the companies) are concerned but due to the lack or consistency it should be understood that it should be open for discussion and up to us to believe what we want just as we do haha. This has gone on too long. Officially concerned, they say one thing and it is set in stone in their series. The other hand none of it makes sense so why bother. Yet we are still bothering, see what they did there ^^
