Rather than saying "this shows positive evidence that Irina was always Maria", you're saying "there is no other possible interpretation of this scene", which isn't really very convincing imo as there's loads of other ways it could have gone (even the ones that you assume wouldn't make sense could be valid, as mothy's view of his story is obviously going to be different than his audience's). We don't logically need to assume your interpretation is the correct one.

Not to mention, Irina made the Clockworker's Doll. Irina is likely the one who put the BlackBox blueprints in her mind. Which means this is knowledge that Irina possessed, not Maria. Do we have reason to think Maria herself designed a BlackBox, despite nothing indicating this anywhere in the story? Why would Adam seeing this BlackBox make him think it's his mother? There's a lot of assumptions and not a lot of evidence.

Again--I'm not saying that can't be true but you're drawing a lot from a very vague scene that doesn't give us much information.
