Long and complicated line of text, which due to being very tired, I'm not sure I completely understood. Let me take a pot-shot and see how far I'm off.
In the area of theory, Occam's Razor states that the guy who makes a reasonable hypothesis using the least amount of assumptions wins.
Related to Umineko, the theory which uses the least amount of assumption-based evidence and relies more on truth we can rely on, like the red, is the stronger and more reasonable theory.
From my anti-Shkanon point of view, it doesn't support Shkanon very much, since
a lot of the background Shkanon evidence is based off of assumptions.
