Another would be in one of Amberly's footnotes. Cain states that the Inquisition is better at bribes and threats then anyone, but tend to get jealous and pissy if anyone else tries the same. Amberly promptly places a foot note in there saying that that is completely untrue, as the the Inquisition is above such things as jealousy....yet she never denies that they bribe and threaten people!

"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him."
