Indeed, that's why I say that she and Ange(and Will, to a lesser degree) are different from Erika.
Comparing pro-mystery readers to Ange/Will is far more accurate than to Erika.
The comparison people want to make though is that while Battler just wants to prove that a witch didn't do it, the witches want to find the actual culprit, and anti-mystery readers seem to think that it's "cruel" to want a mystery out of a "senseless tragedy."
Which is where the Carr quotation comes in.
