So, in response, there is a use for all information if not merely to get a better grasp on the whole of the situation or problem, as it may be. Knowledge is power, not only for the external, but for the internal as well.

I know what you're trying to say but you're just wrong. Maynard's interpretation of his own music cannot be wrong considering he wrote the music and no matter what context or perspective outsiders see it in, he had specific origins and meanings behind his lyrics. It's not to say that some aren't multi-faceted but he still intending something intentional and has at times even shared what that is/was with his audience. Therefore no matter what you may say, they are interpretations that are simply flat out wrong are idiotic, others that are right or even some that are wrong yet still at least logically intriguing.
