This is the only fandom that will deny something that the author has either written down or spoken about. Grrm can say the sky is blue, and thousands of his fans will argue otherwise, while calling him names, of course. People really think they know more about his books and characters than he does, it’s so baffling.
Yeah this fandom will always have people who believe themselves to be a better understander of what he wrote than GRRM himself. At this point I'm just tired of seeing it. It's fine to have critiques, not everything is without flaws, but the author of your fave series with a million different plotlines that he has to keep straight very meticulously because somehow everything has to connect is not dumb you guys.
