Was Ascher telling the truth?

Maybe, or maybe that was the plan all along and he moved up the time table when he realized the Council was suspicious of him. No way to know, since we don't know exactly what Gregor intended. (Though I wonder if it'll matter at some point down the road as we approach the BAT.)
Mr. Death:
It's sort of like why they official rules for quiddich penalties are a secret.
Telling the players would just give them ideas.

LOL. Well they would find ways to technically adhere to the rules, but violate them in spirit.

In all seriousness, I suspect that something like that debate goes on among the Wardens and the Senior Council over time. That is, is it better to explain to the masses what the danger of violating the Laws is, and risk giving people ideas, or to keep the possibilities quiet and only warn the people who are already in the know?
The problem is that both POVs are right. If the Council is open, a lot of people will avoid violating the Laws and keep their heads who otherwise would not, but other people who never suspected you even could mess around with Time or that the Outer Gates even existed will now know it and start looking for ways to use it.
OTOH, keep it too quiet and people who would avoid trouble if they knew the danger will fall into the trap of breaking the Laws in innocence, or even with good intentions, and end up causing a lot of pain and suffering and damage before they lose their heads.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there are ongoing arguments, year after year, on that subject within the Council.

I guess not telling weeds out some potential problems but it also, sometimes, snares people like Molly.
