Seriously though, with the way the story is structured, it's very hard to say which is a hint and which is a deliberate lie, and the amount of information to process is monstrous. Current English translation itself is twice the length of War and Peace. If you look hard enough, you can find hints to support almost any kind of theory, including the deliberately silly Orbital Particle Beam Shot.

I'm afraid it's not hints we should be looking for.
