But is her outright denial of denying it outright and usage of coy implications an outright denial of the supposition that our lore is the same lore that is in the DV, or would that be an outright denial that the lore is different? ;D
*My head hurts*

I'm operating on the basis that the DV is the same as our world, or our world's lore, unless actively shown otherwise.

Well, we already know that the WG is around at the same time that other gods, such as Odin, are hanging around, so there is at least some difference in the lore.
That train of thought starts bringing in real world stuff, and the potential for veering into TT area, so I'll cut my point off at that.

Not sure what you mean. There are people that worship Odin today.

Yes, I know a few.
My point is that, from my admittedly limited discussions with some of those people, contemporary Asatru do not have it as a core component of their faith that other gods are false, while other gods being a priori false is a regular component of at least such bits of contemporary Christianity as i am familiar with. (I had a Catholic schooling.)
Therefore, what Jim is doing in the DV is a fictional universe in which we have, thus far, seen one of the core cosmological axioms of Christianity been demonstrated to be untrue, and we have not seen anything similar with regard to the Aesir.
Therefore, it seems logical to me that there are grounds for considering it plausible that other axioms of Christianity might turn out untrue in the DV (to wit, the possibility that archangels lie) in ways there are not grounds for considering it plausible that axioms of other belief systems might turn out untrue (to wit, ever-virgin Valkyries.) Jim seems to me to be treating the two mythoi on different scales.
