I think you took what I'm saying too far. I mean if you're not sure whether guilty or innocent is the better choice, abstaining is the way to go. For instance, if that mafia member was called out by an unconfirmed TI, you can abstain. If your teammate has been confirmed already by multiple TI claims or by a confirmed townie, it's a different story. But I mean come on, obviously you can't abstain for every scenario, but abstaining is a great alternative to simply just guiltying or innoying, especially earlier on where less townies have been confirmed.

But yes, you're right that it may not always be the right strategy, but it can sometimes work out really good for you, such as when the town is off by one guilty vote to lynch a mafia member. but there are definitely scenarios where abstaining is the wrong thing to do but you get what I'm saying I hope.
