I don't know if SpM does things like that, but if it were like you say, then it would mean he didn't mention at all the possibility of innocents lynching innocents - and I got more the feeling that the intro is a very nice, clear image containing the basic rules in a nice in-story pack. It may be that you are right, or that Radagast the Bird-Tamer has simply erred in his speech (though he being the one who speaks even with birds, he should have known how to speak with humans. Hmm, or maybe just because of that? Always talking to birds that fly here and there and thus forgetting how to speak with people?), but still the most logical to me seems the possibility that great narrator SpM simply erred. I think no one except too picky people (
) will find hidden messages like that, even if he intended it.

Well, actually not and this is a good point
Nogrod made. If you are a wolf and say "I always lynch people who do this and this", and then do it, although they turn out to be innocent, you can say "so what? I'm just being myself."
Seeing the votes this far (and bearing in mind that I wanted to vote for someone who was not voted yet), I can't be silent about one fear I have that we are quite likely to lynch an innocent today just because the number of differing options. The wolves won't have trouble to ensure we pick an innocent and not one of them (if even there is a wolf among the voted). Of course, the easier it will be later to check the voting list, but still...
