relies
on people, everyone, generating the kind of information I'm asking you to provide. If there is no specific content then there are no general theories to be made. Do not think that you are the only player that forms big-picture game reads, or that what's involved in forming those theories is anything other than the same using-tells-and-connections-to-determine-alignments-and-possible-pairs strategy that I've been advocating all along, which you've called "conventional play", and telling you we need everyone's involved participation to get. Being able to form big-picture theories is an important skill for anyone to have---but it does not excuse you from helping to generate the content that goes into making those theories as well. You are not an observer, you are part of the game and your alignment is in question. Second, and related, if you don't feel you have anything to go on that will get you a better than random read, then your first order of business is to go about getting information that will get you a better than average read. You don't sit around and wait for someone to provide you with that information. I'm not asking you to make things up---far from it. In fact, I would find that scummy and I think it's strange that you think that's what I'm asking. What I'm asking you to do is take the strongest evidence you currently have and work with it.
This goes not only to you, by the way, but you're currently the best person to be saying this to as you're actually responding to it. For what it's worth, I expect this out of everyone (each in his own way) and you're not the only one who isn't delivering at the moment.
