So he just wanted to traumatize his kids - for fun!
...but I think that's a good point. Once the work is out of the artists hands it lives a life of it's own. It's a pet peeve of mine when people start bickering and bitching "well no the song/book/movie means this and not that, dumbass, we have the artist on record saying so" like it means anything. I mean sure, it means something, but in the context of personal interpretation it's pretty much meaningless unless it matters to the interpreter. There are so many layers to it and interpretations and how we experience any kind of works is subjective.
