You're gonna need a bit more evidence than that to start throwing around words like "ample".
I'm personally not a fan of IC Fantasia, but let's not misrepresent facts here.
There's not too much mechanically dubious about it. People on the dev team charged with translating, interpreting and (quite) often changing the lore of the game are probably qualified to make a statement such as "Is this object that would break the setting of the game over its knee canon?" The lore status of Fantasia matters far less than the many, many pointless roleplayer (IE a demographic that SE pretty much is unaware of the existence of) discussions would lead you or I to believe so. You don't exactly need a live confirmation by Yoshi P himself.
roleplay?
