And frankly fans can indeed invent intent. You do it all the time with RAC and ICP. The artists indeed didn’t see what you see in it during the creative process but art is always open to interpretation beyond the confines of any single mind including the artist’s. The common intent was to create something for others to enjoy and interpret as they see fit.

Shakespeare didn’t know about DNA when he wrote this mortal coil. Yet, somehow he did.
That does not extend to conspiracy thoeries about what an artist actually meant.

And yes I know Nea was just being Nea.
