I know Silk's body had cuts on both his arms as well as his wrists. I 
didn't remember that it says he cut his face as well. Where does it say 
that?

The cuts on his arms and wrists seem fairly serious. And while he is 
being bandaged he remembers/auditory halucinates that Remora had told 
him that "ghosts, for the most part, did not realize they had 
died"[snip] "The, ah, religious know. Generally. Informed, eh? Expected. 
No ghosts of, um, holy augurs, hey? Or, er, sibyls."

Then Remora walks it back:
"Not--ah--unheard of. But few. Very few."

And then he says:
"We--ah--anticipate it. Some even pray that it my be hastened..."

Then Remora goes on about life after death.

Well, I felt like I knew what he was getting at.

Perhaps, but that would suggest to me that the evidence would have had 
to seem incontrovertible to them-- such as, an obviously broken neck and 
vacant open eyes. Especially, since they were still emphatic about it 
after Horn's return. They didn't say, "Oh, looks like we made a mistake."
