Psyche's sisters are the most interesting villains in mythology because they do not lie. They tell her the truth: you have never seen your husband's face. He comes only in darkness. You do not know what he is.

Everything they say is accurate. Their advice — bring a lamp, look at him while he sleeps — is correct. Verification is always correct. The lamp always works.

The destruction is not in the information. It is in the reason for delivering it. One sister is married to a bald old man. The other to a husband with gout. They saw the invisible palace. They touched the gold. They heard the voices. And they could not bear it.

Accurate information delivered with the intent to destroy is the most sophisticated weapon ever invented. It is the only weapon that the victim thanks you for.
