One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was "look at your data". Sometimes it's hard, sometimes you need to come up with novel visualizations, sometimes it can only give partial insight or just be noise, but I always strive, where I can, to have some type of method to look at data, in as close of a form as it was generated as possible. I think in this instance, look at an actual run might have caught this issue earlier. They might have seen the "it's a full moon" message and might think that's odd, or see were-creatures keeping their form or seeing agents being extra lucky, or whatever, but running it headless and just looking at the score means they're cutting off a huge signal vector (and, admittedly, a huge noise vector).
