Should you keep your old reads on slots that replace?

Like, if you thought the previous person was scummy but the replacement doesn't look like it, how soon should you reconsider your read? What about vice-versa?

Open 656 ended recently and it was relevant to my question. The reason town almost lost was because the two top townreads replaced out and one of the replacements was incredibly scummy. Basically his scumminess erased everyone's read on the predecessor and townies bent over backwards to reinterpret old posts in a new light. It earned him a sizeable wagon and almost cost town the game.

I wonder if that re-reading was bad play on town's part or the correct thing to do.

It's not ongoing?

Edit: Oh, you mean the thread. No, it wasn't related to that game in particular, it was a general gameplay question. People replace all the time and have their previous reads questioned. I just saw Open 656 end and it turned out to be relevant.

OT: Am I not at all allowed to ask strategy-related questions while playing a game? Because strategies as generic as this apply to absolutely any game and any alignment.
