"Changing the premise" refers to how Beatrice redefined the number of master keys on the island, which had originally been left unspecified. It later became one of the elements of Battler's argument about Kinzo in EP4, when he claimed that Beato had altered his life-or-death status for the fourth game.
"Counting furniture as people" concerns the statement that
the number of people on the island is the same as in previous games. In order to make this work out, the "number of people" for the previous games must count Shannon and Kanon separately despite them sharing a body. However, this is a legal move because Beato counted the victims of the 1st twilight in EP3 as "six people".
That move by Beato demonstrates that the restriction of "number of people" to "number of bodies" only applied to statements made after Erika requested that clarification in EP6, so freely varying the interpretation was possible for the previous games.
