That isn't my paragraph, I was just trying to reach Hapi because her mind is closed to me, so I thought someone else's words would resonate.
The point is that scum can do setup spec/mech talk pretty easily. What they can't do is apply that knowledge to make inferences about people's alignements very easily. Solving is extremely hard to fake. Minish has done 0 solving, only putting together mech information.
Yes, it is helpful to town, but I disagree that scum doesn't do things that are helpful to town. Instead, they purposefully do these things to blend in. With Minish's head on the chopping block first, them piecing together Hapi's role does little for me since they are in a do-or-die situation.
