"I worry we've done enough already without completing another observation loop from the Most High on what we've done so far. We're not actually authorized to correct Pilar on matters of faith. Though I have a very strong intuition that refusing Pilar your counsel just then would not have been the correct move, and I'll be surprised if the Most High doesn't agree. But still."
"...we're going to be in a genuinely bad position if we need Pilar-level candidates and individualized divine interventions to produce Asmodean ilani, even leaving aside all of our confusion about why Cayden Cailean would do that and whether He actually is helping us at all. Looking at it from that angle, we've absolutely got to test this out on people who aren't Pilar, and any result that isn't zero survivors will be a good one. I am, in fact, tempted to say we should risk Abarco on having him collate the reports from lesser Security, so he can report to us in safely general terms on what he thinks is proving problematic and his ideas for screening future candidates."
