Assuming any of this is factual (a fairly large assumption), I truly cannot see the value of such study. Does knowing (or believing one knows) these things enhance enjoyment of the works themselves? For me the answer is a clear no. Why spend so much time and effort looking for "hidden" things that have no effect on what is really important, the story?
