After all, you don't just "question" a Dremora if you're weak. Everything is to be taken with a grain of salt that also means there are certain level of truth behind everything. But the truth is always in-between.

That means Magic is not as overpowered as the other guy thinks.

That also means just because you think, doesn't mean J'zargo's words are unreliable either.

I believe, the College of Whispers are stronger than Synod but still is not viable enough. Because if you have a whole platoon of mages who has done a lot of already known homework to keep a Dremora captive when summoned... yeah that's also "questioning" a Dremora.

So yeah, to be taken with a grain of salt again...

Look at it this way. There's a Government in the country who puts up strict law enforcements that all Magical Institute establishments requires their approval... then you look at the trashy Synod... yeah that's an indication of the quality of another similar purpose organization can be under similar environment with the same enforcements...

So yes, all about Politics both of them J'zargo claims he will be the next Arch-mage, and states he is the best wizard at the college... Are you really using him as a reliable source? Just because the Synod and College of Whispers also have a political goal does not mean their mages are bad. If anything, I'd argue J'zargo was too bad a wizard to join them, judging on his scrolls. He lets his ego get in the way.

There is nothing stating the Synod and College of Whispers has an authority on magic... Kind of the reason why a place like the College of Winterhold is able to exist....

The Synod are not trashy. A group of researchers is clearly not the same thing as those who'd serve as Battlemages.
