Oh, I'm not trying to defend it.  In fact, I detest the notion.  However, 
I'm having trouble converging my conception of the seraphim to a 
self-consistent set of rules.

Here's a really twisted notion.  What's to stop a group of Hellspawn from 
inventing a synthetic language that sounds suspiciously like english but 
has subtle differences?  Then they can make literally true statements to a 
Seraph that are wildly deceptive.

If you tell the Seraph's player that there's no false note, they're going 
to be very upset later - and I think they'd have justification.  If you 
tell them that the speaker is attempting deception, that's the most 
consistent...  But once again, how are they to know that it isn't English, 
but a specialized language designed specifically to cause grief for 
Seraphim?

(Of course, a CD of 6 cures many ills, but that doesn't help me when the 
player rolls a 2.)
