Losing D1 actually benefits Town statistically in that situation, which is why it usually happens.
I mean, it still is a net loss for Town (deserved, because a Townie made the error) but treating Bookie's situation as a Typical D1 Mislynch enables Town to get away with losing only one Townie D1, which is something that actually happens, more often than not.
The alternative is a greater than 50% chance, based on pure statistics, that Town loses two of its members D1, which would have put Town in a very discouraging situation and usually does not ever happen on D1.
