Question about character name (question for Bennett Foddy)

** SPOILER ALERT **

People say the man in the pot is named Diogenes. I think it makes sense that the narrator is addressing the player as Diogenes in their effort to essentially troll themselves. Does this theory have any validity to it? Thanks in advance.

the player is " his will, his intent,
the embodied resolve in his uphill ascent " not the character himself

Thanks for the reply.
