But I think we can be 99% sure that the child is not real. I mean... I've been watching the intro and there's no way that boy could have moved from the first roof to the second balcony. That balcony doesn't have any kind of access.
We? Yeah.
They, meaning the folks outside of the theory's boundaries, or those who dismiss a surreal interpretation? Negative. Plenty of folks believe he was real and simply the product of bad writing, and they question the intelligence of anyone who believes otherwise. This would reframe the situation.

We keep getting evidences, signs... but no confirmations, of course. I'm very new to this (ended ME3 thursday night) but I find very interesting the confirmation of Kaidan, Hacket and EDI to record more lines. I think, at least, we will get some "love" for Shepard by his friends and some fleet action with hacket. That's a lot more than we have right now...
I'm of the mind that they need to offer a point-blank answer to something---anything---about the conclusion and its intepretive/surreal nature at this point, just as a gesture of good faith.
Personally, if I were handling the PR for the extended cut, I'd strongly urge for the creators to come out and palpably confirm whether the child in the vent was actually there or not---or, at least, what their personal feelings on that matter are. If confirmed that he wasn't real (or that most of the writers see him as such), then the speculation would shift gears upwards pretty dramatically. If not, and it's not the direction they're going in, then it would inject a tranquilizer in the abstract analysis until the EC hits.
Truthfully I don't expect an answer at all. I suspect that Bioware will craft the EC in just a way that both endings are true. ---> Lot's of speculation for everyone afterall.
The EC could simply an extended cut into whatever endings the player wants to see.
For example, the EC reads the legendsave data - if you pick destroy then you beat indoctrination. You can then see a cutscene(Hell even the current ending cutscene will work) or the Repears being destroyed. After which you can get reuninted with your LI or whoever who tells you what actually happened as you fought indoctrination. Whereas with control/synthesis you can extra scenes about how the universe recovered after the destruction of the relays and what implications that your choice had.
I believe this is Biowares best chance at appeasing the so called "fans" who have thrown the toys out of the pram. It doesn't change the endings but also allows closure for everyone. While also leaving the debate open about which is the "true" ending.
Speculation for Everyone
Exactly, and I actually think it's a clever way of handling the game's current position in modern culture. Everyone's speculating. I don't expect an answer either, but it would do wonders for the positive motion
towards speculating. It would provide something resembling an interpretive anchor---at the very least, a gesture that reaffirms that it's okay to venture into interpretive waters instead of dismissing it all as garbled writing.
I'm mostly talking about the people who have been discouraged from looking at the game with an analytical eye, the ones who feel they couldn't execute something like that. All it would do for people who interpret indoctrination is create something resembling a fist-pump, a small affirmation. The people who have been led to believe that everything's just bad writing, however, could be strongly encouraged to explore what they're looking at with a sleuthing mentality in mind.
The child's real ot surreal nature would, in my personal opinion, be the perfect anchor. A minor anchor, but an effective one.
