Books has been notoriously inactive the entire game, but the little they've said feels village to me. I don't really have a good read on Jondesu. Everything he's said has felt very null-ish (unless I missed something D2 or N2).
I sheeped the consensus, but then I read through the thread a little more carefully, and realized that the consensus was not as stable and evidence based as it first had seemed. As you said, Quinn aggressively tried to exe Araris D1, back when there was very little evidence against them.
