Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
I feel like Edgeworth would immediately be able to catch on to the 'the killer is active during a Japanifornia school student's schedule' => 'the killer suddenly switched up their behavior so they have access to the police force somehow' tells but he would need help from Phoenix and Maya in order to catch Kira before he gets got because he would be distracted looking for a rational and non-magical cause of death from there.
So yeah I agree with his positioning in the chart.
"Hi Light-san! It's a pleasure to meet you! Do you mind introducing us to your friend standing behind you? I love his gothic getup!"
Edgeworth is properly placed, but I would argue Phoenix should be in the top left corner.
He has regular encounters with the supernatural, and his specialty is bullshitting his way to what must be true regardless of how outlandish it sounds.
Though, I guess it depends on what qualifies as "intuiting the mechanics of the death note." Phoenix will definitely stumble his way into something close to the truth even if by accident, but whether he actually believes what he's saying is true because he arrived at the conclusion logically or if he believes it's true because he believes so deeply in the innocence of his client that the supernatural explanation must be true is up in the air.
If "using the wrong equation to get the right answer" doesn't count as intuiting the mechanics of the death note, then I could see the argument for putting Phoenix in the bottom left. But he would absolutely stumble into accidentally describing how the Death Note works, and confidently use it in his defense because you can't prove that it's not true, even if he doesn't fully understand why what he's saying is true.
