That's why I don't like it when people claim that they're "personal interpretations" as that would infer that I'm lying, and I try to make absolute sure that I don't lie or give falsehoods. Promoting one's own interpretation as fact is misrepresentation, so in a way, yes, it is lying. Dislike it all you want, but you will be called out on it. I go by absolute facts, and let's face it, delivery in voice acting is pretty much key in making sure what a character is supposed to react to things. If a character is supposed to be excited in the script, yet sounds dull, for example, they flubbed it. So no, this is NOT personal interpretation, this IS actual fact. If I wanted to give personal interpretation, I would have said something along the lines about Cecile being a guy in drag, even when it's made very obvious that Cecile's a girl in-game.

Now, if the game wasn't voice acted in any way and all the dialogue came from text boxes, THEN the bit about her personally disagreeing with Sartre actually WOULD be personal interpretation, since we literally don't know how she is saying it beyond what we imagine her as saying, and then and only then would I agree to not include it. But it's not text-based at all, and the vocal delivery and tone made it pretty clear that it is not personal interpretation at all. What, are you going to claim that Kefka Palazzo's laughter demonstrates he is insane is just "personal interpretation"? What if he wasn't even paying attention to the chaos that was going on and just was laughing at his own private joke? Because that's EXACTLY the same as what's going on here. Heck, we've got a comment on the MGS3 Snake Eater radio conversations page that Snake is heard chuckling at the end of Sigint's comment about FOX being a nut-fest regarding the cardboard box, implying he was deliberately intending to get a rise out of Sigint and illicit that reaction. What's to say he's only laughing because he just thought of a joke that coincidentally occurred when Sigint was saying this? That's the problem with your rationale. By that statement, literally ANYTHING in the game and medium can be subject to personal interpretation regarding dialogue or anything like that, meaning there truly isn't a point to the Wikia anyways.

The Cecile bit, to sum it up, makes it very clear that Cecile didn't particularly agree with Snake and Sartre on Che from the tone, which IS applicable since it's voice acting, which requires a lot more than just the words being said for something to be demonstrated. It's not personal interpretation at all, since guess what, it wouldn't matter if I liked Sartre or disliked him, or if I liked Cecile or disliked Cecile, or even if I liked Che Guevara or not, I still would have come to that conclusion regardless, precisely because that's what's been demonstrated.

And for the record, that's not misinformation, since that was actually IN the game. How can it be misinformation when it was flat out in the game? What WOULD be misinformation is claiming Cecile was male when she obviously was not, or that Hot Coldman and Naked Snake were lovers when it's made pretty obvious in the game that they hold nothing but enmity to each other.
