The above is what I meant by the connection, Kath.

That wasn't my point. The point I was trying to make is that if we decide to lynch Legate, and he turns out to be a wolf, we should be at least somewhat suspicious of Volo, on the grounds that he "bet with his life" that Legate was innocent.

I did not say that we should trust Legate because Volo says so. I said that if Volo is not lying about his role, Legate is likely to be innocent because no sane wolf would post something as clear-cut as Volo's championing of Legate.
