I wrote that Damon Gant piece. While I can see where your arguments are coming from, your arguments for the removal were "I didn't have any difficulty, so nobody should have, thus BS". Otherwise, we could delete at least half of the page.
The trope is about the gameplay being impossible to guess from in-game clues alone. This isn't Nintendo Hard for puzzles. So yes, the fact that i was able to solve it from in-universe clues IS a basis for deletion. To quote SPRT entry: A true Guide Dang It situation would be one where you look up the solution and, after doing it, analyzing it, and discovering zero legible in-game hints pointing towards that solution, proceed to exclaim "HOW THE FUCKING HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO KNOW TO DO THAT?" If the clues are there and you just missed or misinterpreted them, it's not an example.
I know for a fact that completing 999 without a guide is entirely possible because i DID. The clues are hidden, but present, and getting the relevant endings, maybe ot the first time, but after getting a few bad ones IS doable without trial and error through all possibilities.
Taken from Ace Attorney. going through Gant's testimony is weird, but not impossible to guess on one's own, i didn't even have a problem with it. Again it's not for weird sections, but for UNGUESSABLE sections.
