couple more things point me at Mikal is that he is a dismissing options for the potential lie in the mech too ez. that’s twice now, first with sussing kohai over not being a full vanilla shows the assumption that the no vanillas is true, and second with the theme split being fake.
he did say earlier that he thought it was 1 or 3 but there’s been two separate parts of analysis of his that seem to know what mechanics are truths. kind of seems like inside knowledge or he is just very confident about his theory that it’s 1 or 3
