I think a more realistic version is believing that Durova didn't
intend to block YET because she hadn't enough evidence.

There's a difference between 'I think this person is a sockpuppet of a
banned user' and being sure of it.  In the former case, you try and
prove or disprove, or simply sit on one's suspicions and let things
unfold.
