Perhaps. But it is nevetheless an entirely valid strategy and, the way I see it, the victorious Werewolf is no less deserving of the win. It's up to the innocents to be aware of the possibility of this strategy being employed. And, if they are, it can just as easily lead to an early lynching for being too quiet.

Indeed, we know that people are alive to this strategy, as players (usually innocent ones) are often lynched for being too quiet. This would suggest to me that there is some skill involved in being able to pull of the "quiet Wolf" strategy and that those who succeed accordingly deserve just as much recognition for having played well as any other victorious Wolf.
