    No, it's not; another person already pointed out that The Oracle is regularly caught unawares at the most personally inconvenient of times:

    Roy doesn't need any help distrusting Belkar--he had plenty of other reasons both before and after this incident to distrust Belkar. Plus, Roy has no reason to think The Oracle would help him, and the Oracle has outright stated the only reason he deals with people at all is because he pays them. Heck, the Oracle puts Belkar's death "on the record" precisely because he thinks Roy wouldn't believe him otherwise!

    Again, for someone accusing others of making assumptions, you're sure making plenty yourself.

    No, that's definitely not a fact.
