This is exactly the kind of deep analysis I come to f.ds for.
Witherweaver is a smart person.
We sure have a lot of Jesters here...

You've said that Scrying Pool would be a better card without the Attack part. Would it still Spy yourself to set up, or just live with the luck of the draw?

Golem was more plausible but I did not want to ruin Golem.
I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket. One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

Did you ever consider not having thresholds on the variable VP cards? You could get rid of most by rounding at the end instead of per card (so 4 gardens at 46 cards is 18 points), or just have fractional VP (18.4 points).

I do wonder though, how come Alt-VP "round down" instead of "round up" for scoring purposes?

If getting smaller amounts had been important, the move of course would be to multiply VP by some amount and then use whole numbers again. I didn't consider doing that either though. I had Vineyard early on and it was never an issue doing the math and rounding down.
I can answer question two for you, Sigma. He won't answer that, as it pertains to the future. However, I do hope along with you that he does do more with Alchemy. It could be the solution to reusing Potion, who knows.
What made you want to redo Intruige and Base? Are Seaside and Alchemy on the table for later?

However all expansions prior to Empires will get improved wordings.

The best reason to lynch Haddock is the meltdown we get to witness on the wagon runup. I mean, we should totally wagon him every day just for the lulz.
