A Proposition that Levine ( and the other Game Writers ) DO NOT have the ONLY 'proper' interpretation of the work(games).
A work takes on its own life and goes well beyond anything the original author intended as per its interpretation. What a work presents MAY BE subject to many additional interpretations.

Consider that the Vagueness ( and even contradictions and lies told ) within the BioShock games leave much to INDEPENDENT interpretation and assumptions about the Characters, and their Actions. The game had no Authoritative Narration to tell the Player what was really going on, and so much would have to be deduced by what the Player saw themselves.
Being a story within a GAME induced the writers to FORCE interpretation upon the Player ( ie- the whole Twist gimmick ). The game WAS a 'Shooter', so the reason for the mayhem needed to be obvious.
