Innocents are not immune to lying.
Of course your alignment doesn't change your ability to reason. But your motivations are entirely different from the rest of the village's: we want to destroy you; you want to destroy us. If you can get us to think, whether through honesty, lying, omission, reasoning, emotional appeals, etc., in a way that benefits our own destruction, of course you're going to take it!

Similarly, if an innocent can so deceive the wolves that they make choices that lead to their own destruction, even if it means lying, of course they're going to take it.

We aren't ignoring you because we think your reasoning is tainted. We're ignoring you (except me, apparently ) because we don't trust you, plain and simple.
