No. You don't grasp the breadth of it.

Normally we can take things as they are presented in a movie or novel at face value and treat them as something true outside of logic: In other words, we can treat what we are shown as "self-attesting" truth. In Umineko there is so much unresolved unreliable narration that we can't do that. We have no self-attesting truths, so the foundation of any argument made about Umineko must start with an assumption. It's basically the brain in a vat scenario.

It sucks, huh?
Yep. That pretty much sums it up.

During the meeting with Yukari, it was also revealed that Touya had suspected for a long time that it was Ikuko who hit him.
