If RJ just said the name of the killer, and Wilson immediately responed: "Yeah, makes sense", but only later got the explanation why from Maria, it points to the assassin "Slayer" being the name RJ said, because just the mention of the word "slayer" would immediately provoke the insight that this makes sense to be the answer. Besides, that only one fan one a signing was spot on, speaks against the most popular suspect Graendal as well.
"It was Semirhage"... Mmm, wow that makes sense. You know, the Forsaken did want to kill Asmodean, and he often mentioned her as being a great source of his fear. She's also the psycho murderer type.
Seriously, this is ridiculous. There are fifty characters who fulfilled the 'revelation'. As if Wilson would have said 'holy crap, I can't believe it' if RJ said it was Mesaana, Lanfear or Taim. To reason out that Slayer automatically flies to the top of the list based on this 'information' is hilarious.
I could write a whole post on why is makes 'sense' that it was Graendal, and it would be no worse than any other theory out there. It's also laughable to think that it took the rare reader, or perhaps a single unique one, to figure out this murder.
The weaker argument is his "only one fan" assumption. It's mentioned that "a fan" explained it correctly on a particular day. It's never been declared that no one ever guessed the identity right before that guy or that no one has explained it accurately since the mention of the incident with the fan (which was years ago). Surely tens of thousands have guessed Graendal and several thousand have guessed Slayer. If only one guy had ever really figured it out completely, it wouldn't be Graendal or Slayer or even Bela... it would be someone truly obscure, like Innkeeper Bartim from Whitebridge or something.
