So I've heard. Which, to a point, I definitely understand. Even here, we get told to be extremely cautious about almost anything to do with daemons. Professor Valvatorez and Professor Atchison warn us about that all the time, after all.

[So it's not like he even finds the Pavesi family tack on the matter even all that offensive, or even misguided. Nuance on such matters is incredibly difficult, especially when humanity has spent so long under the existential threat of daemonic influence and invasion.]

But at the end of the day, things need to be seen and evaluated on truth and reality, I think. Sometimes you won't find nuance, but you often do. And it sounds like you've already been doing that, considering you didn't turn your back on learning from either Professor Valvatorez or from Desi herself.
