Could Dresden have been wrong about Thorned?

Would they? They weren't when Slate was Knight.. With the kind of power the mantle has, Knights are not like paper cups at all, a bad Knight is a lot worse than no Knight at all.

Sure they are. Some of the faerie knights only get sent on one mission total before they need replacing. You don't need anyone special to be an equal to Fix. All he has going for him beyond a bit of bravery is the mantle's instincts. Anyone of the caliber of Marcone's troubleshooters could be Winter Knight, and he finds enough of them in Chicago. Mab isn't a worse recruiter than Marcone.

As a Doylist the text is the text. If the passage I cited isn't meant to enlighten the reader, what exactly is the point?

Well, in the practical sense killing the Knight just because you can would be a bad recruiting tactic. On the other hand keeping him alive under torture sends a massage that says, being a traitor has it's cost.

Be it a bad Knight,incompetent Knight, or no Knight, makes no difference really it upsets the power balance.
