The point of this ambiguity is to drill into the viewer that it's IRRELEVANT whether it's real or not.

And that's something that I just don't agree with. I think that what is actually happening in the story
is important, and that it isn't irrelevant at all.
A good story - at least any good story aside from pure fantasy - is more than simply a collection of metaphors, symbols, and themes, in my opinion.
Edit: Also, if the writer himself doesn't care if the Child Broiler is real for the characters or not, then why bother disagreeing with me on it? If the writer doesn't care, why is Kirarakim or myself wrong for interpreting the Child Broiler as being real for the characters? The characters certainly talk about it as though it's a real place.
