So the premise is "There is a good chance that wolves blocked me, and in return fucked themselves over for me shooting leetic. This puts MML actually into better light."

When asked why, Xiz explains by saying:



But if MML was a wolf, why would he want you to shoot the counterwagon?
Sure, he'd *post* as much in thread asking you to do so, since shooting the counterwagon D0 is an established Vigi tactic that has some merit. But after phase end?

Why would a wolf ever go to his partners and convince them to *not* block a claimed/unclaimed vigi? Especially if that vigi has explicitly told said wolf that he'll shoot whoever he decides? It's kind of a reach to believe you think your getting blocked puts MML in a positive light
Though tbf after thinking about this, I think this is only AI if we also believe Xiz wrote that it makes MML look better specifically to establish further ground for townreading MML. Given that there's a billion easier ways ("tone", "obstinacy", etc) to accomplish that same goal, I don't think Xiz very likely uses this weak-reasoned one to do so.
