Red is factual belief. Gold emotional belief.
It's impossible for Henry to be the culprit, because he was with me all night.
It's impossible for Henry to be the culprit, because I believe in Henry; he wouldn't do such a thing.

I think subjectivity = objectivity was kinda the point. Beatrice
could think of Battler as being "born" from Asumu metaphorically, but she just
doesn't. Call it convenient, but that's how subjectivity works.
And I'm not trying to defend Beatrice on this point, just the logical consistency of Red. Using Red in the way she did in this particular instance was a cheap, mean, and abusive trick which she used because she was mad at Battler.
I realize I have said before that Beatrice intentionally mislead Battler with
S/K is dead, but perhaps I should rephrase. She didn't intentionally mislead, but she said things she was aware would be misinterpreted. Her goal wasn't to fool Battler, but to give him a difficult riddle and hope he would solve it.
Of course you're free to call it a shitty riddle, and I wouldn't really argue with that. But it's different than lying.

He's a very good subjective perspective writer. Onikakushi-hen was especially brilliant in this regard, IMHO.
