I'm not saying one is completely forgivable, but it definitely means there is a difference to be considered.

I would also note that if the suspected operations of this intelligence agency are to be believed (i.e. the plot to use Bel as an empire infiltrator) they may be intentionally manipulating us on the situation. Nearly all our information so far comes from those directly involved in this agency, which leaves open the question of its accuracy.
