I agree with Hoser. If you are working to unite the people (thus ending war), the last thing you would want is an Alethi High Prince Of War. Perhaps Mr. T thought Dalinar could be "converted" because of his recent actions, but it hen he finds out Dalinar wants to be High Prince of War. That, on its face, seems to go against Dalinar's recent public action. Mr. T knows the what, just not the why.
