I dunno about the Watsonist view as to the merits of the investment or the mechanism ingame, I was taking the Doylist view that SL might be signalling disapproval for Grubbak based on other characters statements and the comparatively blase benefits from funding it in the known game mechanics.

Orcish Democracy doesn't directly increase ProN revenue, but it's a booster to the profitability of Tradesmasher's Guild, and it buys you two votes in council for the tower ritual. But it's the most expensive Tradesmasher booster, and gives no profits directly as some others do, whereas you can buy two votes from the Imp Office and the Hall of Mental Strength for a fraction of the price. (Although Orc Democracy does potentially get you an extra Cee'Kan region vote via Tak'Kan score...)
