Unless the game returns a positive checks just for the ability to night chat alone rather than speaking, though.
Notes point 4:
“Spoke to someone at night” will yield positive even if the target remains silent all night. The ability checks whether they have the possibility of speaking, not whether they actually spoke or not.
Note that the ability hits BD as well and is affected by Frame.
As I said, it’s essentially a poor man’s Observer. Spend the night has few uses on its own and Overt Intimation+Spend the Night yields less information than a use of Follow. IMO the passive should give additional information, such as better tracking of voting records and the night ability should be built around it.

I mean, the Knight’s core job is to protect people from death, like a Support (as evidenced by Mercenary having similar abilities and being a Support class) but its ability to kill is prioritised and it’s labeled a Killer class, and the Alchemist can kill at night but its healing ability is prioritised so it’s labeled a Support (and the Inquisitor is a similar case, as an Investigative class that can kill from N1).
The problem with a non-harmful social ability is that unless it’s dead interaction you will always have someone who could back you up.
My spy class sidesteps this by having that person always be scum.
