If she had said she hadn't noticed outright without any sarcasm then it would be more debatable.
Her statement, sacrastic or not is still a lie... how does this not violate the 1st Oath?
aslong as they know they aren't decieving anyone.
The oath reads "To speak no word that is not true"
And is New Spring Siuan was stopped from saying something about how hard her work was to Moiraine, despite the fact that she would not have been deceiving Moiraine with her words... doesn't seem consistent to me!
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!
Cadsuane lies!

Good point, but in that same book Tamra said that Gitara didn't say anything before dying *NM*

I understand this, I'm not arguing that an AS should not be able to be sarcastic

The sarcasm was for him repeating himself to her. The "remember" is the part she's refering to.

That's why I think this example of sarcasm works as opposed to Cadsuane who makes a false statement

sarcasm is sarcasm. In both instances their is technically a lie.

You can already drive a truck through the oaths. Does this one additional tiny gap really matter?

what do you think a RL lie detector would tell in this case?
07/12/2009 12:27:07 PM

in RL you would get warned by the investigator to cooperate

Usually you're s'possed to answer with a yes or no. It's easy to tell when you're evasive
