though, there are people who genuinely do this and many cases where, if executed, this is an effective strategy... so assuming the excuse is deceptive might not be a good default either. Maybe we parameterize their legitimacy by their bets in anonymous politic prediction markets

that was the problem with private diaries detailing benevolent, accelerationist intentions: everyone has incentive to write them just in case they get caught, even if they’re genuine.
