Calling scummy play scummy isn't projecting. Andrew's arguments in semantics is exactly the type of arguments scum make because they're laced with a hint of truth that makes them seem reasonable.
Gkrieg called "the" mafia team with just 2 people. Mafia has 3. That's not really likely to be a faked mistake mafia will make, but Andrew's reaction to it - namely the focus on the word "the" - gives a semblance of validity to his argument, despite it being bogus.
I would say the "comparison" to the fact that I did exactly that in M100 is just one example of such play. As it was in fact from me then, I would argue I'm more acutely aware of why such arguments work.
As Robz would say, "SK hunting is a scum tell" - doesn't matter who you are. Semantic arguments are scummy. Doesn't matter who's making them.
That said, Faust in M100 waa town. He made reads early, yes. They were almost all based off something and weren't posted arbitrarily. Further, his verbiage was very specific: He stated townie or scummy, and gave "on the list / off the list " lists for who should be the lynch.
In M101 he was scum. He was caught D1 for a number of reasons - but amongst them was that he made the same D1 reads from M100 but here he made them arbitrarily. He was trying to mimic his town play but when you're scum it's harder to justify "reads" because all your "reads" are faked.
This feels much more like M101 Faust than M100 Faust. He wants people to see him as his town!meta, instead of being his town meta.
