What they said. And all I'm personally saying is that one can't assume that all Red Truths have to be 100% literal, or that if a Red Truth is stated, it must be apply to an actual Real World instead of a fictional Gameboard.
Take, for instance, the Red Truth, You are all alone on this island. And of course, I am not you. Yet I am here, now, and will kill you. We pretty much know for a fact that the bomb explosion is what's being referred to here, but Beatrice ("I") made the statement. Does this mean Battler's been arguing with a bomb, this whole time? Does this mean Beatrice's ghost is going to turn on the bomb? Of course not. It's allegorical, even though it's totally true.
I don't understand why some people have such difficulty with this. I really, sincerely don't get what the problem is.
