Well, he didn't push the lynch through did he? He forced a claim and got rid of a difficult player. I thought pushing a 1 for 1 is what he was doing yesterday as well, but that didn't pan out.
Furthermore, I feel that as a player Ratchet has the confidence to go for risky plays and think he can pick up the pieces. But ultimately, the essence of what your asking is *would Ratchet intentionally hurt his and his team's chances of victory with this play*?
And so we go back to the point I just made to you, which is that we don't have all of the information available to evaluate whether that play was truly detrimental. Even operating with just what we know, if Ratchet's goal was to attract a lot of negative attention to himself, that is perfectly in line with his reflect one shot. Think about it - not only would any shots coming his way backfire but any investigations would come up innocent because they're not hitting his neutralizing passive, they're hitting the cop who investigated him
So, yeah.
