Alright then, Sidali891.

1- I fail to see the relevance of your first point. I had already mentioned that it was a speculation. Word for word.

2- About Rubedo being made from the caloric stone, it does hold some weight considering how much foreshadowing the author puts in. The same thing could be said for Renner and Demiurge having had contact in vol 6 and Climb being regarded as someone not to harm, thus leading to Shalltear letting Brain, Climb and Lockmeyer escape. This was backed-up by little details of foreshadowing without any clear statement. Yet, it was true. The same goes for several other foreshadowing details so far.

What was stated about Rubedo in the books(including having a WCI to be a requiredment to be even able to fight her) combined with the the statement of a guildmember proposing to build an invincible golem using the caloric stone(and it having been used for a special project) DOES make up pieces of evidence. Even more so considering the author's track record for forshadowing details and his mention in an interview about purposely putting tons of foreshadowing details in the books.

As such, this isn't a "speculation" like mine about "The Goal of All Life Is Death not working on Rubedo". THIS is a theory. A theory is a speculation backed up by several pieces of factual evidence, thus making it more likely than a mere speculation. In science, everything considered as fact is actually a theory and will only remain a fact until proven otherwise.

Heck, for that matter, The Goal of All Life Is Death being able to work on Rubedo is ALSO a speculation.

My mention of the things below being mostly just speculation was because it was just that. But the point about Rubedo being made of the Caloric Stone is already more than a mere speculation. The Rubedo theory is based on statements in the books while the ones about The Goal of All Life Is Death speculation is based on how we assume the game mechanic work. That is the difference.
