As I see it, metagaming is half the game. The other half is WIFOM.
Is a given behavior scummy? Either it's scummy because it's not how a given player behaves as town, or it's scummy because it's something mafia are somewhat more likely to do than town. In the first case, you need to metagame to pick it up; otherwise you miss tells. In the second, the mafia might be scrupulously avoiding the 'classic' tell, so the few people who do it a little bit must be townies - which is, of course, the start of the classic infinitely-long WIFOM scenario.
Metagaming...
