I'm not really convinced of that. It seems to me that Ryukishi's fake scenes just take what the mystery genre normally presents as
witness testimony and elevates it to
witness narration. That doesn't necessarily mean we're obligated to treat it differently.
You can't get anywhere in an investigation by automatically doubting all of your witnesses. You have to treat what they say as trustworthy until you have a compelling reason to believe otherwise. Have there really been any scenes we know are fake that didn't have adequate hints to that effect?
