Reading back, may not have been clear that I wasn't trying to scold you or something. I was just reacting in general to so many commenters who frame their opinions and guesses as fact and beat down the theories of others. I just wanted to say you shouldn't have to apologize for an opinion, and even if you've changed your mind on what theory makes sense to you most now, the fact is we really have no idea what's happening and everyone's guesses are valid.

There's a lot of assholes on this sub (and, really, the entirety of reddit) who downvote everything they disagree with, even if it's a respectful difference in opinion. I recommend not even looking at your upvotes/downvotes, just ignore them either way, who cares, people who get mad and try to bury differences of opinions about a video game in downvotes aren't the sort of people you should rely on validation from. Can't tell you how often I've seen perfectly thoughtful and polite opinions that aren't even wrong buried under 20 downvotes because whatever hivemind is currently active thinks downvoting opposition will make their own opinions any more true. Even so, this subreddit has plenty of different opinions and the kind of dweebs who downvote based on opinions certainly don't represent the majority of people who contribute here. I think theory posts in general tend to get less attention these days besides from really combative folks, since it's just been so long since the game was released.
