But in this case it's cheating.  You're saying "it might or
might not have happened this way"...  but you're dealing
with two stories, and in the context of each story it _did_
happen that way.  Instead of picking one story to believe
and casting doubt on the other, you're dividing the doubt
equally between the two, and that really doesn't work any
better.

No doubt is cast on either story.  They both happened.  They're both valid interpretations of the manga.  The stories just divereged after the end of the manga, is all, for entirely valid, manga-supported reasons.
