I jokingly suggested the detective is the reader. After all, when Dlanor says
"
Knox's 8th, it is forbidden for the case to be resolved with clues that are not PRESENTED! Until now, you have been the DETECTIVE!"
Maybe "you" wasn't referring to Battler at all!
But I don't think you can get terribly far with that. Author Theory would, however, suggest that the writer - and thus the "reliable perspective" - is not actually inherent to Battler. The writing in ep1-4 simply chose to make Battler reliable, before perhaps realizing that he need not be (or perhaps
should not be). But that doesn't get much traction yet. Ep7 may blow the lid off the whole Author Theory concept, or it may discard it as extraneous outright.
