That statement should be disregarded simply because there is no evidence that they have publicly criticised such theories, in fact they have never confirmed or disconfirmed the credibility of these theories. Why? That is the question you have to figure out yourself. The purpose of the game`s plot speaks for itself.

Think about it. If you were an employee of SquareEnix and you just have managed to find a piece of information that states Rinoa being ultimately Ultimecia on the Internet and everywhere else, is there any chance that a part of yourself that wants to tell them the truth simply because you find the theory absolutely nonsense or ridiculous? In interviews, a question usually pops up asking the developers about what additional information they want to add. So then why didn`t they mention something like "Oh, yeah. As a reminder for those fans, I just want to let you know that R=U is not true!" ? They have never done all that. I`m not surprised about this at all.

Is it possible that they (SE) have never heard of such things as R=U? I personally kind of find that hard to believe because the amount of information about R=U being public is too good to be unknown.
