Yeah, I agree with that. EP7 makes it pretty clear, really; the red truth was NEVER meant to be the primary reasoning device, and that's the biggest flaw in KnownNoMore's analysis, because it seems to be literally the only thing he uses to reason, "the highest authority in the story" by his own words. When in fact, Battler arrived at the truth by rereading the WHOLE tale, not just by comparing a list of reds against each other and ignoring all the white text as unreliable.

In other words, it's just like EP7 keeps saying; you can't solve the how dunnit without first solving the why dunnit. Or to put it another way, the why dunnit - the heart of the culprit - is the most important thing. The method is only secondary to that; something to fit together after you've already discovered the important part of the answer.
