"We know about oaths so that we can trust the Keepers.  So we can be a FairBot to them, if maybe not a PrudentBot.  And not be CooperateBot, where you just have to hope the other agent is FairBot instead of PrudentBot.  A true oath is between multiple agents, not necessarily symmetrically so, but each must know the other.  If we didn't know what Keeper oaths were, we wouldn't be a kind of thing that can meaningfully accept them.  Just a CooperateBot that maybe the Keeper was being nice to."

"If in Golarion you have truthspells, and Asmodeus never clerics anyone who'd break an oath, and swearing falsely on Law changes your visible aura in a way other people can detect, maybe you don't need any of that, really.  Just - people who make promises and mean them for older reasons, more human reasons, and when you have gods and alignment auras on top of that, maybe that's reliable enough and you don't have to go to further extremes."
