On the contrary, I'm not a canon-pairing fan. I don't need to be convinced by cold, hard facts. What I (and others who are not yet into the pairing but may have the potential to be) need in order to be convinced is a logical-sounding argument/justification.
If you base a pairing merely on interpretation, then it's probably not going to be very strong. Why? Because as a fan of a certain pairing, you'd be biased towards the pairing and that would cause you to pick up every little thing and interpret it in the way that aids your justification.
I just think to justify something, you need to be very objective.
That said, I want to stress again: I do not disregard the argument brought forth for the Cloud/Yuffie pairing, nor do I mean to debase them as a couple. Personally, some of the pairing I support do not even interact a whole lot, so I always believe in minute possibilites. *shrugs*
