[It certainly does, and Korra files that away as useful information. A more conniving Contractor would probably find a way to use it right now to her advantage, but that's not Korra's nature. Only an idiot would try to wield a weapon they're clumsy with; she plays to her strengths.]
The Syndicate was going to use the Gates to eliminate Contractors. Pai gave her life to destroy it. She's a hero.
[This is Korra taking a gamble of her own. This is probably the real reason Amber never shared this information with Hei -- not out of fear he'd take it to the Syndicate, but because Pai was important to him, enough to make him irrational. But a rational Hei will never take their side. He's not community-oriented; his rational self-interest is limited in its scope. But if this Pai person is really important to him... Well, there are a few ways this can go down. She's interested to see what the fallout is.]
