She lost because there was more to the truth than she thought. It works in favor of the concept, rather than against it.
The reason you're taking the lone stand at the alamo isn't because Ryuukishi is some kind of genius. Its because you've been sucked in by his boasts and claims, and simply take them for what he says they are.

But we know good writing from bad, and having spent a good deal of time on ryuukishi's wild goose chase, we know better than most what were talking about. That ryuukishi got away with this doesn't make it good writing. Its just exploiting the fact that most people don't think, and believe whatever moral is put in front of them. Not to mention his open disdain for readers who actually do think.

That ryuukishi made this call over a year ago, and the rest of us refused to believe he'd do something so ridiculous only makes us guilty of optimism.

That you actually buy into what he's peddling is your own fault, it doesn't make you right.
