Hope you play again Byron, you have interesting takes and you'll get better at reading these folks the more you interact with them. I only spotted guak right because he was acting so different than last game for instance. In general, it is probably better to just honestly put out your arguments when you're VT, even if you get killed, your opinions should get taken more seriously after you flip town, even though it didn't happen this game.
Next game I'm really going to focus on rereading dead townies to see who they read, while they aren't going to be right all the time, they're more likely to be right than even the most townclear alive townies because 1) no one is truly ever town clear until they flip and 2) scum killed that person for a reason, likely because one of their scum reads was right. Even if the reads are wrong, operating like this and having scum know we'll look at the reads of dead townies makes them have to give a second thought to killing our valuable analyzers because if they have real scum in their reads they'll have to worry we'll catch them because of that. The only way to counteract this for scum is to kill townies who are wrong about their scum reads, which gives town an advantage because we'll have more townies pushing the right targets still. I think looking at or listening to dead townies is one of the major points where this game could have turned in favor of town, but didn't.
