One thing that should be included somewhere is that Renner's inability to understand human emotions only applies to 'base' emotions like those of Staffan Heivish and others who use their authority and priviledge as nobles to commit despicable acts purely for pleasure, or to tolerate alliances with such people. She finds such emotions and a willingness to trust those who act from them entirely irrational.

She is completely able to analyze all the important emotions of Climb and similar characters who act from what would be called "pure" motives of seeking the greatest benefit for their family, kin, nation, and race. Such motives are, in her view, completely rational. But such characters comprise a vanishing minority of the nobility and their lackeys which she has been able to meet, and do not constitute a substantial majority of humans of any class or profession.

This also makes her highly sensitive to false claims of acting from "pure" motives (service to nation especially) being used to mask irrational motives. This is the reason that she detests nearly all the nobility of her nation and works actively to destroy them.
