One of the worst things a creator can do is shoot down fan theories. They generate discourse around their work and lets them leave it open to interpretation - like when that one BioWare dev shot down the ME3 indoctrination theory.

The guy that wrote My Life As A Teenage Robot did it classy. When trans people started reading into Jenny's experiences, he was quick to go, "I wasn't even thinking of that, but good for you, I like the idea!"
