This is really frustrating to me because I’m not wrong on this.
Right but if Pooky is scum he still has to fool you whether he likes it or not. That's the game

I think you are. I also think it’s beyond obvious we really can’t take what the NPAs say as dogma.
Essentially, you're saying Pooky wouldn't talk to you this way as scum. Like a "Can't you see I'm town? Look at me go I'm so town" tone. I understand why you read him town because of that, and I agree it's more towny than not. Would it be really easy to do as scum, yes, but I can see a world where scum Pooky wouldn't do that because he doesn't like actively singling you out to trick you. So perhaps.
It's also possible in my mind that Pooky could be the third faction where he can satisfy not having to trick you (since he's not exactly scum in that case), although we know nothing about the third faction so it's hard to say.
