I will say your first point is somewhat valid but me and you are two different players, and I think the wider trend to be wary of is that you're not solving on a wider game level and seem strategic in your pushes.
You mentioned X was a claim :hmm
		
		
	 
 pls quote me if you are responding to me
I have always played by interacting the people I suspect the most
solving the wider areas of the game like making a vague comment  off some tying two other players together ?  where is his follow up, pressure , is it just a participatory comment with little weight .
 
how much further did he probe into either flower or prof   
I strongly disagree with your read.
