It really doesn't matter what kind of logic or approach you use to guess where those ships are. Whether you disbelief the few feedback that he gave you, or you believe them, you still can't be sure you'll hit the right ships.
Well as said by Ryukishi in Higurashi, victory is achieved once you create your own theory after completing the game.

Speaking of theories, I came up with one of my own on Umineko, seeing as I'm not too fond of the 'everyone's playing a game/pretending to be dead' one.

Spoiler for My Theory:
