But we know how they detect them. Everyone who passes the necklace test tries on the bracelet. Those who feel what the damane feels can learn, which they don't realize, and can be sul'dam, which they do.
Here's a thought: if they act on their prejudices and collar every sul'dam as marath'damane, who controls them? They will have to keep this secret, or else the sul'dam will seize the Empire, or so they fear. But it won't matter to TUON, because she already has the Empire; if anything, she'll keep this as an ace in the hole. She won't tell, obviously, judging that for the good of the Empire she will just have to keep the sul'dams secret and make use of it surreptitiously when necessary.
