That sounds correct to me.

When writing my earlier reply I had considered commenting that Sethra 
would probably not be planning on destroying a bunch of superintelligent 
folk with some sort of ability to tell the future.  But it's clear that 
Verra can miss even very short-term consequences of her actions, and the 
whole achronicity thing makes me sufficiently uncomfortable that I prefer 
to ignore it as much as possible.

I guess I'm a strong Cyclist, which informs the ongoing argument I've had 
with Alexx about House Jhereg.  In this perspective the J are really 
fighting the Cycle, the source of that wind you refer to.
