You’re still stuck in your box.
Every lynch is not identical.
Every piece of information is not identical.
Every Day is not identical.
And your analgoy fails because if we double lynch, the Scum only get 1 NK per 2 lynches.
And we get our information while more players (and players are the key to winning) are still alive.
If we lynch a Scum sooner, the information we’ve already gathered becomes MORE useful.
It’s the same information…but it’s better!
Do you really not see that? I’m starting to wonder about your thinking here. I know you’re smart enough to understand all this, but you are dogmatically taking a stance which while wonderful in theory isn’t necessarily as useful in the chaos of an actual game.
I think a better anaolgy is in the middle of a baseball game, with a runner on 1st and no outs, the safe play, your play, would be to bunt the player over to 2nd base. It probably leads to the most likely chance of scoring a run.
A more aggressive play would be a hit and run, sure, you might end up in a double play, but you might also get a big inning.
It’s different, yes, but not ‘wrong’
