I'm only a bit annoyed that people act like her reading of the Dokutah proves old Dokutah was evil and didn't care about his operators and thought of them only as chess pieces when it specifically says in the section that she only actually used her arts on Theresa. It is specifically called out that she didn't use her arts except one peek at Theresa out of fear of Kal. Meaning her take on the Dokutah isn't based on her special ability, just gut instinct.

And thing about everyone having that impression of old Dokutah? Nobody he works closely with is scared of him and Several people in present day that don't work with us closely have a similar impression of the current Dokutah.
