I always thought it was careless use of Essence that was dangerous for the Symphony.

I do not have the Angelic Player's Guide, as it has not been put up on e23 yet, so I only have the Core Rulebook for my knowledge of Seraphim. It seems to put them in a better light, though, if the APG portrays them as literalistic automatons who need everything pointed out to them like little children.

I would also argue the fact that if you can distinguish between literal and metaphorical in others, you can also distinguish between them in yourself. Though, I do agree that whether you chose to use such knowledge is up to the individual player's interpretation of their character.
