I disagree. Fake-claiming is a very useful skill as a townie. I'm 2400+ elo and I always claim sheriff/invest if I'm mayor, trans, or vig. This ensures that I won't get targetted by evils (unless of course they have a consig). Then I can freely transport others without worrying about my own safety, and as vig I won't have to worry about witch since there would be no reason to witch a "sheriff". As retributionist, I always claim medium. Retributionist is a role (as of now) that retains most of its power from staying hidden. If the mafia don't believe there's a ret, they're more likely to attack the jailor once all TP claims appear to be dead. Then you can just use the dead BG/Doc on the jailor. Sometimes, claiming sheriff as invest is a good strategy too when you've found a potential evil. You might trick them into outting themselves when they claim a role not in their invest results. If they do claim in their results, you just reveal yourself and say you were fake-claiming. And of course, you need to fake claim to vet bait (obviously whisper the jailor first).

1. Once I claimed to Veteran claim that I am Vigilante and I am going to shoot him. Mafia attacked me, sent consort and janitor. I was the real Veteran.
2. Once I saw Veteran claiming in whispers to Jailor that they are Retributionist and asked Jailor to not get jailed. It was the Veteran who alerted, we lost consort to that play.
3. I once swapped with Jailor. He was claiming Veteran, I was claiming Jailor. We won 2v5 with that play.

Veteran in particular has very obvious reasons to fakeclaim. If your real role is Veteran, you have a legitimate reason to fakeclaim just about anything.
Mayor can also get away with fakeclaiming whatever he wants, though it's less often useful.
