There is no twisting of the words.
You are ignoring them where he confirms it
The on panel would have been an explanation had NA 3 never came out and confirmed that the Earth's represented universe... and then Hickman double confirmed it.
Just because it didn't go in depth, doesn't mean we ignore the part where they did actually go in depth.
Let's take an example close to your heart. Superman vs Superman in IC. Now in the main title, the battle with Kal-L, and homo never stated that reality was being effected from their punches. Does that mean that just a car was destroyed? Not if we go by tie-ins where we get explanations that reality was being sodomized. It's not a retcon, the IC comic wasn't wrong. Just that another comic went more into details and you Superman fellers are happier for it.
And the Hype example is like that (under the same writer too). We got a look at where Hype came from and why, and then we get an explanation of just wtf actually happens when an Earth starts ramming his dickhole into another Earth. It's actually a universe ramburgling another universe with Earth serving as its spirit guide.
That would be ignoring the Hype part. Everyone who's right (Team Right) knows he was referring to Hype.
Steve didn't fail either in the context of the question, as the question never talked about the gems exploding (like the universes Hype survived). The Gems didn't fail. Hype did. Simple pimple.
2 Earths that represented universes.
A massive twisting of words. You're ignoring that even if you're right (that the Earth is just an island in an ocean) that the universe would be directly behind it just like it would have been behind the Earth in the Cap case (if you're right). IE, it still equals out to a universe.
The only way it wouldn't have been a universe Hype was trying to fist into place, is if the universe jumped out of nowhere like a spooky ghost as soon as the planets touched. Which is wrong as per Cap pushing it away.
Now if you'll excuse me, this representation of Team Right has to beat off, another representative will be with you shortly.
