I'm also not sure why I would need to commit to anything this early. I'm prodding his slot to get something out of it, but while you could argue the goal of it is to make him incriminate himself, I would point out that drawing out behaviour from him to make him an easier read is just as plausible an explanation (and, for the record, actuallty is what I'm going for here). Hence why I voted him earlier, interacted, and then, once I saw enough, removed said vote, while laying out the existing reservations I have with him.
