Iomedae expects that their values differences are real, but small, and still places more weight on the bulk of their disagreements being because Cayden Cailean is a moron (literally: because the actions Cayden Cailean is taking in pursuit of His values are suboptimal due to resource constraints Iomedae is less subject to).

Iomedae observes that, unlike Cayden Cailean, She is a Lawful god, which means, at the core, that legibility is cheaper to Her and that the way She splits Her cognition enables more complex commitments, at some expense in other exploratory abilities in Her architecture because nothing comes free. Iomedae observes that Nethys ought to be willing to give Her any information for a small price, if She commits not to using it against Him, and that information beneficial to the interests of Cayden Cailean is probably information She would pay for, unless something is very strange.  Such as Nethys having figured out how to feed parts of him information that make them convinced of things the whole of Him does not believe, and how to let those parts make themselves legible to other gods, persuasively so. 

It could be something that sits in their very real values difference; something that Cayden Cailean is barely in favor of but which involves the total destruction of Iomedae and all Her followers and which therefore She is barely against. (If it were otherwise very good by Cayden's standards She, too, would favor it and work towards it; She doesn't think the values difference is very large.)

Right now, the state of affairs is that Iomedae is being treated adversarially - with Cayden expending resources to reduce her access to resources - in the service of a Nethys plan. This is plainly wasteful. For one example, they could just have Cayden tell Her 'hey, I would have acted as so to reduce Your resource access' and have Iomedae stop using those resources, conserving overall resources for Good, with the benefits thereby split. Maybe, Cayden could just stop that, and try not expending the resources of Good against fellow forces of Good, and get Himself together to think about what shape of commitment from Iomedae would enable that.
