I honestly don't think you didn't understand what I said at all. With "she's not the American Psycho", I meant that she certainly didn't cut Sasuke open to take some of his DNA, meaning the genetic materical wouldn't be exclusively interior. Her obsession is of sexual nature. The genetic material Suigetsu found also didn't seem like a "piece of cloth" either. DNA can't even be analyzed through mere pieces of cloth, unless they contain a great amount of liquid genetic material. If it was a piece of Sasuke's shirt for example, the mere skinn cless wouldn't suffice. We have to think logically here and exclude possibilities.

With regard to each of your points:


 * ChoCho's behaviour reflecting the true nature of situation is... a rather wild theory and I honestly don't see it at all. ChoCho's parts were there to add a little comedy to the whole situation, but reading those indicators out of other people's behaviour, I must say that doesn't even sound like Kishimoto.
 * Yeah, but obviously Naruto didn't notice anything of that kind. It can be that they haven't seen each other for quite some time too. Jiraiya and Tsunade didn't see each other for quite some time either. Shinobi travel. They go on missions. There's an unlimited room for explanation. Not to mention that the same thing goes for Karin. She may work in a different hideout but by the flashback we can tell that she met her old comrades at some points of her story too. It's the same thing.
 * I did not see any "vague sample from probably" to be honest. The flashback of Karin strengthened his assumption, the drawer was obviously Karin's and other than that there were absolutely no indicators for a mistake.

We only lack background information to understand the facts given to us. That, however, does in absolutely no way lower the certainty of that very fact. Of course, on the on hand it makes sense because Kishimoto is trying to deliver the message that motherhood has to do with feelings and not with genetics, on the other hand none of us know why Karin can't take of her child or whether she literally gave birth to Sarada, whether Sarada was the result of an egg donation by Karin, whether Karin and Sasuke actually engaged in sexual intercourse etc. But information gaps don't indicate that the fact itself is false.

As for your last comment, I don't really agree. The way I see it, facts are things that were directly said. Example: Character A said character B is dead. We didn't see B die, we didn't see his corpse, but it was stated. Now solid facts are facts that were not just said to be true, but also proven to be true. A DNA test result falls under this category. Solid facts don't mean there is absolutely no way they can turn out not to be true after all, because we can always run into the plot-twist scenario. The same goes for Naruto being Hokage for example. It's a solid fact isn't it? But if it turned out to be a mere Genjutsu, then this solid fact would be invalid all of the sudden.
