whether or not you might think of a full-strength challenge, were it some kind of TAMING, is kind of irrelivent, isn't it? No trapping, is any kind of wrestle or contest or anything...

All trapping, is of trickery/dishourable avoiding of whatever you're trapping's strengths/advantages, otherwise, one could simply HUNT, or capture, what one would not need to weaken, by using a trap. What would Hircine say?

so say for a dragon, only things like titans, can 'honourably' wrestle or capture them, by that simple comparison.

Whether or not Olaf was a traitor, seems much more important, in terms of what you're a part of creating, by changing how he is remembered. memories in the living,  'echo' in places like Sovengard,..

...so how you create information about the dead, is something that might affect the afterlife of the dead  -  surely that matters  MORE,  than a question of a full-strength or not-full-strength, defeat. Even if a dragon is weakened/dying, isn't it still an achievement to've trapped one, to learn secrets from them, during all the oppression under the dragons at the time?

Was he also some kind of secret Dragon Priest harborour, saying he's bringing liberation from the dragons, while having his strings pulled by them?

That, might be something worthy of a traitor label, considering what the capture of Numinex was intended FOR, wouldn't it? They were intending to LEARN, from his capture..?
