Honestly I am not surprised. I imagine he wrote it quickly as this fun quirky look at the universe but then it got extremely popular, kurzgesatz video released and all. A lot of people based their personal beliefs off of the story.

Imagine you write a small story for fun but then it becomes nearly a religion. It must be a little frustrating for Andy.
