Right from day 1, you can come back to see patterns, you can see who was bandwagonning, who was scummaring, who was agreeing with whom, who said some things that may contradict something else later, who maybe speed-hammered, etc. No lynch is MUCH worse as all of that would be lost out.
3) Lastly, no lynch realistically leaves people at day 2 almost the same point as day 1 unless cop hits a mafia or something else just as random happens. If there is no lynch at day 1, cops and other people have to ALSO target random people for their actions rather than be INFORMED and have an idea who to target. SO yeah.

We're gonna play a game. Pick a number from one to ten. Seven of the numbers are wrong, and if you pick a wrong number, I'm going to kick you in the dick. We'll keep going until you get all three right, does that sound like fun?
