I would suppose if all Angels and Fallen have Intellectus, their Intellectus would have something to do with their (former) job.
In other words a very limited Intellectus for the 'small' (without an Arch-) ones.
It would not help Lasciel much, to know everything about spiders.

Urield kinda proves otherwise. In the short story The Warrior, he goes over Harry's actions & the results. Uriel also explains how Heaven specifically brought Harry into this, possibly because of these desired results.
And in Ghost Story, Uriel similarly touches on this, in how he brought in Harry, to help Molly & get rid of Corpsetaker.
Plus, people seem to be hung up on the fact that Bob can be wrong. The potential to be wrong isn't the same as constantly being a sourse of corrupted information. I think in his discussion on the Skinwalker, Harry outlines how Bob is at least generally right.
Also, those people who are doubting Bob's info on the matter, should take a second & ask themselves if they doubt him because they don't like the answer, or because they've got reason (supported by the text) to think something is fishy. I've run into this myself, but just because you want something to be true, doesn't mean it is.
Otherwise, you're trying to knock a square peg into a solid steel wall. Which just doesn't work.

These are datapoints for the intellectus capacities of archangels, but do not sfaict lock down what mere angels, Fallen or otherwise, have available in that direction.

I think Bob's knowledge has some clearly defined limitations that we can reasonably well map from the text and use as metrics for how much he is likely to know on any given subject. He does not know about Tera West in FM; he's dead wrong about figuring out how the Nightmare got through the threshold, early in GP; more to the point of the current discussion, he is explicitly either unwilling or unable to talk much about matters related to angels and Fallen in DM.
Quantus:
very true. Matters of faith are so completely alien to what he is that he really has no comprehension of most of it. That part of why I think there is a whole lot more to Soulfire than what Bob told harry it does

Why do you assume that Lasciel's job was related to spiders?
peregrine:
She is called the Webweaver.
Another question, just an idle curiosity thing mostly,
If Harry had had the presence of mind to throw a Death Curse, would that have caused problems for him re: meeting Jack, and setting the plot of Ghost Story in motion? Or would it have progressed the same, + changes from the affects of his curse?
