Also, I use Story Potential as a type of compass to detect good avenues to explore. But I realize that alone isn't sufficent evidence to support a theory.

Which is why I brought up how "Springtrap Rain" and "Doctor A is Gay" are simple theories that don't explain all the observable evidence. While the "Springtrap Possessed" and "Doctor Ando-Faustus" theories are very complex solutions that DO explain the observable evidence.

As you yourself said, quoting Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."

The evidence eliminates the theory that Spring Bonnie failed because it was wet, and the theory that Doctor A just wasn't into his wife to begin with.

So with the simple answers down, we have to look for the least complex theory.. that also accounts for all the evidence.

And it just so happens that the theories I presented not only account for the evidence, but also generate a very satisfying narrative.

Something that would require astronomical odds if it was truly randomly generated.

Which means it's much more likely to have been deliberately crafted that way from the start by the author.
