Possibly. A Goose might be eager to accuse others of Goosiness so as better to conceal him/her-self. But I am beginning to wonder whether, absent any obviously Goose-like behaviour, there is much point in trying to spot the Goose. Once at least one innocent has died, we are unlikely to know for sure whether the Goose is still among us. Also, it is a common Cobleresque tactic to wait until later in the game, when they are more likely to be able to cause more havoc, and so try to merge in and simply appear as an ordinary innocent in the early stages.
Admittedly, suspicions of Goosiness may lead us to a find a Duck instead (and I can see some force in the arguments that have led Anguirel to reassess
mormegil as a possible Duck). But perhaps we should just concentrate on looking for suspicious behaviour generally. Even if (on any particular Day) this doesn't lead us to find a Duck, we might (albeit unknowingly) kill the Goose instead.
