So what you mean is a teleological approach to motive where a person's vice "ripens" in the right circumstances created outside them, and individuals with esoteric insight and the right persuasion abilities (such as the Executors) can still create circumstances to bring these vices out if they wish so? And once someone already "wills what they will", after facing this knowing and powerful adversary, they will do as expected because "it was already inside them"? Is that what you're trying to say? That The Executors' long game is to make an external locus of choice feel like it's internal because it strengthens existing predispositions?

Show me someone resisting these "enhanced" judgments and desires because they used another source of motivation and I'll believe you. For now, the implication that someone sees the end of the long game changes the veneer, but not the pessimism at the heart of this reveal. The enemy still remains a level above cause and effect when others are subjects to them.
