    Yes, I believe this is intentional. Not sure exactly what it means, but here's what Brandon's said about the differences in the KoW prologue:

    The elephant had no idea, as he hadn't read the contract.
  3. NameIess
    Unfortunately, the contract stipulated that Nin's apprentice had to kill the elephant's family or be killed himself
  4. NameIess
    And then told him about it and forced him to either get someone to sign it or watch his entire family die.
  5. NameIess
    Unfortunately, he’d missed some fine print.
  6. NameIess
    The elephant pulled out a contract. "Sign this, and you'll gain immense power."
  7. NameIess
    Nin refused to give guidance, stating that he wished for his apprentice to gain wisdom, which meant he must make his own decisions.
  8. NameIess
    Nin's apprentice considered this request.
  9. NameIess
    Nin's apprentice declined quite rudely, stating a need to continue his quest.
  10. NameIess
    Unfortunately, he didn't consider asking the elephant to move.
  11. NameIess
    Unfortunately, that didn't fix the elephant that was still sitting on him.
  12. NameIess
    Only half of his bones were broken.
  13. NameIess
    Which, considering the planet's low gravity, was... still a million pounds. Okay, maybe Nin's apprentice wasn't totally fine.

    Well, the most basic answer is that a gemheart plus the Singer's soul allows for indefinite holding of Investiture, and the Singer's gemhearts were taken because humans like shiny things. (Also, as was said above, the Singers have so much respect for their dead because the humans desecrated Singer corpses in the past in order to take their gemhearts.) Of course, the most basic answer doesn't explain what similar mechanic is happening, or entirely explain why humans would spend time hacking Singers apart to get their gemhearts. That WoB implies that they aren't perfect gemstones exactly, but perhaps they can be fooled into thinking they are still in a Singer's body, and thereby become functionally perfect? That would explain it.

    And very few elephants lived there.
  16. NameIess
    And he was the most overweight elephant on the planet.
  17. NameIess
    Then an Elephant fell on his head.
  18. NameIess
    Nameless considered taking one of the creatures for later study, but ultimately decided against it.
  19. NameIess
    It took three mirrors and a very annoyed AdoKho to read it.
  20. NameIess
    And Butt Venture's stomach.
  21. NameIess
    Unfortunately, Butt Venture ate the pineapple.
  22. NameIess
    This turned out to be the right place to go, surprisingly.

    YKYASF when you wonder if you could kill a vampire with a regular stick through the heart as long as you believed it was a stake.
  24. NameIess
    Turns out he was really bad at drawing.
  25. NameIess
    But he had a map to get there. A blank map.
