It allows us corroborate our own reads if you happened to notice something the rest of us missed. Likewise, it helps to alleviate the inherent advantage scum have over town. They already know who is scum and who is town, so scum reads give information exclusively to town. The scumteam really doesn't care who we think is scum. In fact, keeping scummy town players around can be useful to them. And process of elimination is only so useful.
Why do you think the opposite?
What you mean by this, of course, is it gives scum a running commentary of what town are doing/thinking and what direction we plan to head in on the next day in x, y and z scenarios. Scum can formulate a strategy over N1 to deal with this; do you see that?

This isn't my normal stance, I'll admit, but the question you are asking BBT right now seems like the same question you asked Vettrok.Since scum have to fabricate their reads, we're about one second from going into NP, and we still have players MIA.
At this point it probably won't do anyone any good to give reads until after the flip.
This guy knows what he is talking about. He's just approaching it the wrong way.
@Bold - Can you clarify this?
I would also love to see a reads list from Wolfy. If only for the comedy value.
