Well.... that's all I've got, really.
Battler used Method X to find out that Erika didn't go to Rokkenjima-prime.
(EDIT: Wow, did I just use a double-devil's proof? An undeniable method to prove an unprovable fact? )
My original point was that universal red texts apply because the writer wants them to. Think about it this way: you want to write an alternate truth about the mass murder incident. Because of the devil's proof, you can put Erika in your story. But if it were suddenly revealed that Erika was never on that island at all, no one will believe your story. So it is in the author's favor to use proven information to include in their story.
For EPs 1-4,
Kinzo was already dead. That's because the author wanted to use accurate information to get the reader to believe in the story. If we suddenly have someone else write the story ( as in EP5) then they might not include "accurate information", and insert Erika into the story. The same applies to EP6.
