Yeah, this seems correct to me (not sure I've convinced Zar though). The rest of Dan's behaviour isn't very townish, though? Meh. (Though I don't really think much of the supposed "scumslip".)
The worries about Zdenek just getting a (hypothetical) scumbuddy to confirm him are overblown. As long as he targets somebody most people have as a town-read, we're probably fine (because if he's scum, eventually we catch on to the fact they're lying, and then we've caught at least one scum we probably wouldn't have caught otherwise). Might be different if Zdenek had claimed 1-shot, but since he didn't ...
Similarly the discussion about both roles existing in the same game are a waste of time. They're not at all similar roles. And even if they were, that probably wouldn't stop Faraday from giving both to town anyway. He likes doing that sort of thing (I mentioned the ADWD game already; via IM, Zar reminded me of the Wheel of Time game on Westeros last year as well, I'm sure there are lots of other examples too and I might check his wiki page for some later). Either of them might be lying, but the two claims aren't really inter-connected in any way.
We should still be lynching TGAH.
