>You can be the detective without having the bullshit powers that Erika had in episode 5.
The undeniable POV is one of those "bullshit powers" as well.
That's why Erika couldn't confirm people's deaths without it.

Besides, Erika was called the detective even without the detective's authority, but it didn't mean that she was "the detective".
Battler never had the detevtive's authority, and thus he was never "the detective" either.

You need the Detective's proclamation in order to count as a real detective, and in order for knox's rules to apply.

Battler was never the detective, I don't know why Dlanor said in the previous episode, perhaps because he had the role of the one to solve the mystery, but he was never the detective.
He lacked the detective's authority and therefore none of Knox's rules applied to him, he could be mistaken, he could be the culprit, knox's rules didn't affect him as a detective.
