No, it's not a safe bet that they understand their characters better than the audience and I'm not willing to give them a pass just because they created these characters. No, I expect these men to behave like professional writers and not like newbies writing bad fanfic. I expect them to have character bibles for each character and then work from those when crafting storylines.
Our interpretations are only wrong because TPTB have an appalling tendency to change their characters to feed their plots. That's not understanding their characters - that's called not giving a damn about their characters because they only see them in terms of which ones are their favorites.
Unfortunately, their favorite characters get the same type of inconsistent writing as those not as favored. The only difference is that the favorites get a lot more screentime in which to be inconsistently written.
