This is a well underrated point. People are too quick to jump to "liar = mafia". Much more important to consider the motivational context.

I also agree with your overall point, though, epi, which is that a team that is able to adapt into the roles needed in the thread in the context are best of all.

I think there's something else, although maybe it's really just a jack-of-all-trades that moves between roles as needed, but it's what I'd call my own default style, and that is a 'design analyst' or perhaps a 'big picture analyst'.

I'd say it lives halfway between intuiter and hard data analyst - someone who takes on board rolecards, in-thread inferences from hosts and players, likely teammate or non-teammate relationships, and tries to slot in each player to a role to solve the theory of the game.

Obviously less useful in a game where most people are vanilla.
