If you're referring to my post--yeah, that was all I meant by it. I meant to suggest, *not* that the Humakti would trick their way out of oaths, but rather, that their understanding of the oaths would be so extreme, so fanatical, that a typical Heortling-on-the-street couldn't really be sure how a Humakti would understand the oath when a crisis came. Sometimes the Humakti would be utterly inflexible, to the cost of everyone (inlcuding himself); sometimes the Humakti would judge the oath to be invalid or inapplcable for subtle truth-rune reasons. And these judgements would *not* be made out of self-interest, but just because he had a different understanding of the way the oath really works.
But it was just a suggestion...
