41. Well, if you know Mensch, you'll know that she describes herself as having ADHD

(I don't know whether it's been formally diagnosed).

That doesn't in itself invalidate any information she may have, but may explain why she comes across as hyperactive on social media.

My concern is similar to the one you attribute to Zaid (I also think highly of Moss).

There seems to be little sign of strategy behind her tweets etc. She shows her working publicly, which is all very well in terms of crowdsourcing, but others may be following similar leads, and she regularly posts information and supposition - the line between the two frequently blurred, and she has been known to disappear down rabbit holes - that could tip off those under investigation (formally or via Twitter inquisitions).
