User blog comment:AustinDR/When Does Mean-Spirited Humor Fail?/@comment-24200891-20170308213950

Sleuth or Consequences is another example where mean-spirited humor fails. The sisters are difference-intolerant jerks. Lincoln is innocent but to save Lucy from torment he experiences he takes blame for himself. This make the sisters feel they were right whole time and have another excuse to torment Lincoln, what they outrightly admit with no remorse. If Lincoln proved Lucy is responsible the sisters would learn to not accuse people without evidences but they learned absolutelly nothing.
