Shallan is talking to her brothers and [[
Five hours later as she is studying the Alethi monarchy she has an outburst about the way how some of the books are written. In a discussion about it she tells Jasnah that she thinks the authors are “errorgant”. Jasnah informs her that this is the “Assuredness Movement” in which the authors overstated their cases. Shallan wonders why she is researching events as recent as the murder of King [[Gavilar]], to which Jasnah replies that she thought to ease Shallan into true scholarship this way. The discussion moves on to Shallan's habit of saying the first passable clever thing that comes into her mind and the incompetence of her former tutors and their punishments. Jasnah believes [[Wit]] would find her amusing. They move on and talk about what Shallan has learned about Gavilar's murder, and later about youth and scholarship. Shallan wonders what it is that Jasnah is working on.
