I could just as easily claim that Archik's outburst was perfectly valid, in line with the rules, and that you wouldn't be able to argue against it. He didn't reveal himself, he didn't reveal his role. There haven't been any similar punishable precedents before. When a Mafia player says during the execution, "town, I'm innocent!!! you'll make a huge mistake if you execute me" (and you wouldn't demand proof for such cases, lol?), would you accuse him of revealing his role? It's the same situation, but at least Archik was thoroughly investigated. Or is only lying allowed? And truth gets met with a modkill, because it makes the game easier for the town?
In all of this, you're missing the point that status is an element of the role, and revealing an element of the role is comparable to revealing the role itself. There's also a confusion of concepts: "I'm innocent," "he's Mafia" - this is an indication of affiliation, and its unargued (and even if argued, it's based on publicly available information) publication is permissible; "my status is the same as potentially-revealed Zeliboba" - this is an indication of role elements, which is not allowed regardless of its truthfulness.
