Pretty sure that is not the reason you resist it (for one, your reasoning is false) and it really just boils down to you not liking the theory for some other reason because you think you have a better theory, which is pretty pathetic behavior. There is nothing baseless in suggesting Salem was involved in Pickerel getting pulled from the detail because it is completely logical and normal that Lionheart would have some influence over whether one of his huntsmen would continue to be involved in an operation and, given Salem apparently knew when and where to intercept the transport, it is logical to presume he was working with Salem even at that stage so any action he took on this was done under Salem's direction explicit or implicit.
