Settle an argument — what the Faceless Men are really for

This is the part I got wrong twice. My maester tells me I raise this too often. My maester is welcome to raise something better.

What I am actually asking is what the Faceless Men are really for. I think the plain answer is the true one, and everybody has talked themselves past it.

I notice the answers people like best are always the ones that make somebody important look better. That is not proof of anything, but it is a pattern.

It cost me a keep to learn. It costs you nothing to read. I paid a keep for that lesson.
