If an Insanity card knocks out the last opponent and ends the round, do you win Insane or Sane?

The rulebook wording can be read both ways and the forum is split, so this is the most common reading, not a settled ruling.

Most likely Insane, but the rulebook does not settle it. A card goes to your discard pile only after its effect is applied, and the state of mind is checked after the round ends, so most players count the winner as Insane and give an Insane token. A minority reads the round as ending during the effect, before the card reaches the discard pile, which would make you Sane.
