I mean, yeah, but it seems like a pretty easy lie that's impossible to verify unless they happen to make one up that overlaps with ours. I mean, we can theoretically go from most suspicious to least suspicious, but I am skeptical this does anything.
As I have said, I would ideally test Illven or Merel today but trying to force that is just going to get me killed because of the split wagon. I laid out my arguments in excruciating detail and if that wasn't enough to be convincing there is nothing else I can really say.
