Do influential people always provide better arguments?

From the HunterxHunter perspective, it wasn't "X said lynch Y, and people did/did not sheep." Eg, while Vi did repeat over and over "Gamma is scum, lynch him," that wasn't what got Gamma lynched -- Gamma got lynched as a compromise and because scum jumped on the bus to hammer.

Amethyst Kitty wasn't lynched because of Nachomamma, but because many people in the thread were vocally calling them out (I was one of them), and with eight mislynches or whatever there was a general apathy.

Or to approach it from the other side, there are plenty of examples where a well known player tries to push a lynch through and it fails.
