As to the question of whether it's positive or not, swords are double-edged and can cut both ways.
Exactly, the first thought that popped in my head, a sword cuts both ways and the trick is to avoid causing mortal damage, while maintaining a cool, clear mind and speaking truthfully. As Gandolf told Bilbo Baggins, it's knowing when to use the sword and when not to.
