Right. Perhaps "help" isn't the right word. Maybe more like Robert's words planted an idea/opportunity for Joffrey to kill someone.
But yes, definitely vague in the books and perhaps intentionally. I really like that there isn't closure on everything...this for example or the fate of Benjen Stark. I definitely do not buy into the theory that Benjen is Coldhands. If the series concluded without any further information I wouldn't be disappointed. It really adds to the [I]realistic[I] nature of the series. In reality, people go missing and are never found dead or alive. There aren't black and white answers to everything.
