Light would have gotten away with everything if he had just lurked instead of responding to L's challenges
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

Essentially the summary is that Death Note is a mafia game where there are 7 billion players and mafia autowins on Day 500(or whatever, to represent Kira taking over the world and everyone bowing down to him - we see the US and others doing this in canon). In that kinda game lurking is basically the best strategy

What was your interpretation of it? My interpretation was that Light's mistake was to do stuff that narrowed down the suspect list, such as using police information or that thingy shamingy with Lind Tailor
