True, but
0) Aliera's less scrupulous.

1) It's either the case that Paarfi based his work on input from
some or all of the various participants, or he didn't but
intentionally left the impression that he had -> M calls out Sethra
or Sethra makes Paarfi think it would be wise to steal the Jhereg
treasury.

2) It's hard for me to imagine that the supposedly slandered
participants don't have any friends who do work who would feel
it honorable to take Paarfi out quietly, and harder to imagine that
his publisher would risk the hate of the most prominent members of
the court.

3) We're told that M is a fan by Ilen the Magian, iirc.
