I agree with this. I actually liked how ep 7 set up for it, but I feel ep 8 dropped the ball on executing this concept. I'm sure it's what he was going for, he just managed it poorly. Although honestly the only strong argument I have is the pointless implication of Umineko being a standard mystery. If he hadn't implied that I think this whole thing would have been perfectly fine as is.
