As you say, Cocopuff, blocks do not determine who is a sock or not. Editing pattern, language pattern, covered topics, behavioral pattern do. In this case, there is ample evidence linking the two accounts; and the master account is known to have started other puppets. This one is the third, AFIA.

My point is, that assuming good faith does not directly apply to raising the concern of an account being a sockpuppet - puppets can be a difficult problem, extremely hard to deal with. Good faith applies later, when action is to be decided. As Noreplyz stated earlier, the victim hasn't yet acted to warrant a block. It will, if/when it acts up in a pattern justifying one.
