Clarification, VI's are townies that everyone ignores.

Saying your play getting you townread in this game is a counterargument when you came immediately off of another game where you played the same way and got vigged is a good demonstration of the point you're missing. Emphasizing that you advanced from the game where you got poor results but not from the game where you got good results is a good deminstration of the point you're missing.

With a lot of these examples you're raising it does start separating purely from skill and going into the "display" part of "display of skill". Did you convince anyone through your play that these good things wouldn't happen if you weren't in the game? No. Did Thunal? Yes. Call it an unfair metric if you want, but again, you can't reward what you can't see. It doesn't matter how much you out Silver if you make everyone think you're still pushing him for your original "screwball reads". (It also makes you less likely to convince people if that's still why people think you're pushing him, and if you had made it more clear that your earlier content was just to poke around, you might not have needed Thunal's help with Silver.)
