If you do not agree with my analysis that No-name was allowed to suicide in return for redacting/withholding his name ... then you cannot explain why Q named him “No-name” or “We don’t say his name” and POTUS refused to say his name for many months prior to his (timely?) death.
Or do you have another explanation?
