It seems pretty apparent that the mafia are lazy and just waiting on us to waste lynches on innocents. They don't really have any reason to contribute and it's pretty clear that the people posting real contributions are innocent (I'm too tired to make a list atm sorry) while the mafia just post a bit of garbage and/or sit around.
Lastly, I want to make it clear that the people who were questioning the statements about clue analysis being useful are very probably innocent (again too tired to make a list). In such a situation the mafia is not going to want to disagree with someone like me and attract attention to themselves, while an innocent is much more likely to not care and just argue what they feel is right.
I'd agree with the first paragraph that I quoted, but I'd have to disagree with the second one. Clue analysis is one of the three main factors that the town can analyse with regard to knowing who the mafia are (the others being of course, behavior analysis, and voting...to a lesser extent). The town knows that although in the first few days, clue analysis is kind of tenuous since we don't have -that- much information, it's still an important thing.
Obviously we shouldn't go around lynching people who say that clue analysis is useless, but I still would have to caution against assuming that people questioning that statement are innocent.
