That is a place where I bus.
And if you'd like me to back this up, I'll expand and back up that philosophy for you:
When your partners are in equal standing (all scummy or all relatively town), you have more options; if you are all scummy, you can't really make your position much worse by doing something crazy and if you're all town, it's not very likely that it's all gonna change in a matter of two pages or so. When you are in a much better position than your scumpartners, that's the time to consolidate towncred and strengthen your position so you can go deep.
You can check out Katsuki's Blitz game, how I interacted with Spiffeh; early on I encouraged him not to bus when we were both in pretty bad positions. Then, my position improved and his worsened, so I started to bus in preparation for a deep run with kanye.
I'm bringing this up because you understand my scum mindset better than most, and you should probably know that clearing me because I encouraged you to go back to a correct scumread is bleh. If you feel I should be reading you as town here, prove it to me: right now, it feels like you're trying to sell that "low impact = town" and I don't actually believe that for any player.
