There are two assumptions you have to make here. Let's explore both.
Assumption 1) Flavor Leaf is Town
- Flavor Leaf sees Chemist heavily crumbing his
abomination's
Pokémon's typing.
- Flavor Leaf knows from his own role that typing is important
- Flavor Leaf tries desperately to plead with Chemist to stop crumbing
- Chemist ignores him
- Flavor Leaf believes he has discovered Chemist's typing
- Flavor Leaf, under no pressure, claims that it is dangerous to discuss typing to get Chemist to stop. This serves a double purpose of warning other players from doing the same. Possibly because Flavor Leaf is worried there is a commonality between the players with the [hated] modifier.
Flavor Leaf is acting protective of Chemist and the game state by asking others not to claim seemingly innocuous details (typing) because through his role, he knows those details are
not
innocuous.
Assumption 2) Flavor Leaf is Scum
- Flavor Leaf sees Chemist heavily crumbing his
abomination's
Pokémon's typing.
- Flavor Leaf knows from his own role that typing is important
- Flavor Leaf says nothing
- Flavor Leaf believes he has discovered Chemist's typing
- Flavor Leaf now benefits from knowing Chemist's typing to better use his role
Flavor Leaf, if scum with a role that benefits from knowing Pokemone types, has much more to benefit by staying quiet and letting Chemist dig his own grave. He also benefits if other towns people see this and think it is safe to discuss these details.
Do you see now why Flavor Leaf openly giving that warning is so town? He gains so much more from remaining quiet and just letting the pieces fall into place.
Sure, I do admit that Flavor Leaf can be going for a big scum play, but it is much more likely this came from town and not scum.
