I'd agree and side with, while you can have theories and fun analyzing work, author's world is final. Like there is a reason why people reading manga take stuff that author says in afterwords, interviews etc. as a irrefutable facts, because they created their works so they are the ones that know the best characters, their motivation, meaning of the story as well as the rules which the world in their story works by. People would usually argue about stuff said by third person, discard everything that wasn't said by person responsible, but as long as it is something confirmed by author, it is non negotiable.
Like good example is when people ask stuff about One Piece. Author is more than eager to answer most of the questions. So if someone has a theory about something and then author stats it doesn't work that way, it means author doesn't know what he is talking about? His "interpretation" of the world isn't any more true than what some guys on forum came up with?
Other example, I watch a channel where 2 brothers come up with different theories about different movies and one of them was about Dumbledore creating his own horcrux. The theory was really solid, it fit perfectly with everything and in fact explained some stuff which without it, didn't really make a whole lot of sense. The author of the book however did saw it and rejected the idea saying Dumbledor never created one. So they did only thing that was reasonable to do at this point. They accepted they were wrong. Sure they might thought it made prefect sense with what was presented in the book, even if everything was laying out perfectly just by pure accident, but that still wasn't something author had in mind when writing the book, hence it make entire theory, while highly interesting, canonically untrue.
