The things like the Bear rug disappearing and then reappearing sure pass the smell test of being intentional. Color desgins, yes. Moving furniture...looks like a maybe maybe not. The geography, I'm not so sure about.
Going through those links, the guy is decent enough to link to some rebuttals which also put forth a good argument: "you are over thinking some of this stuff, and although Kubrick is clearly a film genius he is still a human, capable of mistakes and you do not account for any mistakes in your dissection of the film, you sign off on everything having been 100% intentional" which is a rather sober view as well.
The guy REALLY starts to lose me when he talks about how the Shining doc is another set piece to the fictional film. That's a lot of time on your hands...
