That's sorta what Umineko ensnared us in. That's why the final question is what you want to believe as the truth and not "what is the truth".
If anything saying that "x theory" cannot be proven should be a given by now.

It's important to know the limitations of what is, or might be, provable in a given part of Umineko, however. For example if we discuss the information people should have in R-Prime, we can't
prove they have that information, but we can "prove" that anyone familiar with the Rokkenjima Incident in the "real world" of Umineko
ought to know some fact. Knowing which facts people would have to know, which facts they might know, and which facts they can't know is interesting for e.g. figuring out what the Hacihjou team would actually be able to find out about things when writing their stories.
