I've long ago given up trying to find anything rational in anything they do or say. None of it makes any sense whatsoever.

it's also peppered with some rather wild speculations.

If it was discovered that Scalise was the specific target and not just random republicans, this may be a different story.

Doesn't mean the congressman wasn't targeted specifically, but not having a large number of wounded isn't weird. Anyway, I see no reason to think it was a false flag operation or some complex conspiracy. No one benefits from that. We know for a fact who this shooter is, and what his background is. Targeting this guy or just congress in general makes sense either way for an angry "Bernie Bro" who snapped.
