Oh no, I'm not claiming people have gotten the Beginner's Guide wrong. I'm claiming the Beginner's Guide is, in of itself, an example of someone getting the meaning of a game wrong.

Specifically, where Davey adds in meaning to Coda's games that were never there to begin with.

The fans that claim that "nobody is good or evil" is a main theme of Undertale are no better than the in-character version of Davey from that game. They're making the same mistake. Trying to find meaning to something, even where it doesn't exist, or flat-out gets the meaning wrong.

I'm not the only one to say this about the game either. There are many who claim this.

Only two possibilities exist.

1:We're right, so The Beginner's Guide makes a good case

2:We're WRONG, but that just proves that we can get the meaning of a game wrong, so my case still stands. Ah right my mistake you were making reference to Davey basically inserting what he thought Coda's games were about without really attempting to actually understand Coda but instead satisfy what he needed to see.
