If Medaka was a normal child, I might agree. But Medaka was a monster child who even at that age was seperate from normal humans. For someone like that, why would having a purpose be better than nihlism, unless there was an external factor?

No one does and no one did. At most, Wolf claimed his belief to be more widespread than he could prove. That is an entirely different matter.

Except he was treating it as if it was a flaw in Nisio's writing, not an opinion.

Oh, I've believed for a long time that it is impossible for a human being to be totally biased without experiencing God Itself. But this is probably semantics or misunderstanding what you wrote. But I do know that it does not make an opinion ineligible.

Generally speaking, you'd be right. Within the confines of the discussion is another matter.
