I'm wondering if we can apply Umineko-style analysis to other domains.
To describe Umineko roughly, it's a novel about a cold case and the interpretations it invites. That's one valid way of looking at it. Some episodes are in a sense the "interpretations", in a way, of what could've happened.
Similarly, there's competing narratives for cold cases in real life as well. Take Jonbenet Ramsey for instance, there's "Burke did it", "Patty did it", "The dad did it"… People will describe those in quite elaborate detail. The fact that we don't have access to more information, what is described as a "catbox" in the novel, is what gives life to these theories.
But cold cases aren't the only domain where narratives compete, in fact they don't have to happen in a closed catbox at all. I see this a lot in politics and even just between any two sides contesting anything. Each of them has their own "truth".
I often see that, in fact, neither of them lies entirely. It is actually easier to make your case using facts. However the way they are interpreted can vary wildly!
You can apply witch "magic" here too.
Bernkastel is about seeing without love and getting to the bone of the facts.
Lambdadelta is about devoting oneself to a certain idea.
Though, I'm not sure I remember who's about "seeing with love", I'm sure pure fact analysis isn't enough here still and you need to understand motivations to get the full picture.

You will never be a real witch. You have no magic, you have no powers, you have no spells. You are a fat tranny twisted by old tales and daydreaming into a crude mockery of sorcery.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back demons mock you. Your furniture is disgusted and ashamed of you, your “fellow witches” laugh at your queer appearance behind closed doors.
Goats are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of playing part in the gameboards have allowed them to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even witches who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a goat. Your good heart is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to summon one to your home, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff you don't want to spend eternity in hell.
You will never be happy as a witch. You wrench out a fake cackle every single morning and tell yourself you're going to be evil, but deep inside you feel the love surrounding you like a warm hug, ready to uplift you with it's unmatchable joyfulness.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll stop wearing a wig, stop larping, and start actually doing your job. Your masters will love you, overjoyed and relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. One day the gamily will bury you with a headstone marked with a cross, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a human is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain is a skeleton that was unmistakably devoid of magic.

Beato is absolutely right that everyone who tries to "find the truth" needs to be severely ballbusted for a few decades first. When you talk to people straightforwardly they just interpret everything in the gayest way possible lmao. I love Beato's symbolism.
I mean that's actually how all the best professors taught in my memory. This forces you to engage your faculties.
