No, I'm actually saying that Ment might not be Savage.
Since you're experienced, I think you should understand how your posts sound from the outside. You're not really saying that Ment isn't a maniac, because if you were, you would have immediately focused on other clues about him, not just on the third attempt, or at least mentioned them as possible, but you would have said that they don't appeal to you for one reason or another. You only focused on one piece of evidence and one role. And it seems to me that you did this only to try not to draw too much attention to Ment, i.e., to prevent the town from focusing too much on other versions. In this scenario, you're in a win-win situation, because when it turns out that Ment is indeed not Savage, you can nod wisely and say, "Well, I told you! You should have listened to me!" and so on.

Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
