I'm doing my reread of the stormlight in preparation of RoW, and I saw something that I had initially forgotten about. At the end of Way of Kings, Mr. T showed Szeth his death hospitals, as well as made some ominous remarks about plans. Taking that, plus Szeth's various interactions with Diagram members, and it wouldn't be too big of a stretch that he has a piece-meal idea of the Diagram's existence/mission.
Flash-forward to the end of Oathbringer, Szeth has sworn loyalty to Dalinar. Mr. T told Dalinar they used Szeth because a Herald had told them a Desolation was coming, but it seems like Dalinar could easily verify that story by asking Szeth himself. As for Szeth, he is acting as a bodyguard to Dalinar. It seems to me that a bodyguard would mention if one of your (somewhat) trusted allies is running a death hospital, among other suspicious activities.
Is it reasonable to assume that Dalinar has some idea of the Diagram's existence by RoW, or are we supposed to believe neither Szeth or Dalinar compared notes?
