Trying to theorycraft about anything that isn't explicitly being hint-hinted by Yoshi or the writers themselves seems like a potential waste of time now in light of those developments.
I've been in a few lore chats that have gone into deep conspiracy theory-style guesses about lore, and the speculation in itself can be a fun timewaster, even if it ends up being 99% wrong... although the delay from ShB -> EW was so long I grew tired of it and dipped out. That Yoshi/the team apparently were surprised that people were wondering about the sundered Ascians (but they themselves have come up with true names/identities for all of them) was kind of 'huh'?

On the plus side, the dissatisfaction has led to me working on my own original stuff more. Even if no one else sees it but me.
