I'm defending him for the same reason I think your argument against him is dumb, and that he has done nothing else to make me think he is anything other than a newbie town (especially the role reveal).
Now...
Think about Scorched Feathers and Drohn in their first game. Scorched immediately started being an idiot, but pointed things out and tried to get some people in the line of sight. Drohn on the other hand, was logical and lead the town towards the end. He also tried to have an opinion on possible lynches and votes.
Cobalt, after three+ games before, has no substance, bandwagoned (without even posting the evidence
at least try) and has only tried to defend himself. Not to mention that his 'ability' is useless if he never states an opinion. In my experience of safe-claims, they're usually either accustomed to the normal role, just with a town spin, or they're useless (to make sure that the town doesn't ask them for any information).
Cobalt's role is useless, meaning he either could be a deadweight, or a wolf.
