That's really my only point.
Of course you can't figure out "every" factual truth. In what mystery can you ever know "every" factual truth for certain before the end? He even mentioned at one point that there are certain aspects you can't figure out yet, that there's a "best possible theory at the time". If you count Natsuhi's past from EP5, we know he doesn't literally mean this.

Also, if you're going to say "the fundamental nature of the mystery" can't be figured out, then you'll have to at least disprove my gold text theory. It doesn't explain the history behind the incidents or the details, but it does explain the Rules X Y and Z for Umineko and has a lot of support from in-game text. Sure, it's probably wrong, and there's no proof for it, but it might be right and I have a lot of evidence behind it.
