These aren't mutually exclusive. An easy out can just as well be a way to avoid actually committing to anything to avoid spew, even if you're happy to roll over. I mean if you're town you have an obligation to at least think about the game. But you're happy to surrender your vote and legacy, it's weak. If I were town, you'd never catch me leaving a legacy of "stop the indie", it would be far more developed. Why not you?
