This strikes me as much too definitive a statement. For all we know (as far as I know), Baritt may have fully used PF but for reasons of secrecy (to avoid interference from Sethra/the Gods, or just to develop a mystique) kept it hidden. His assassin would have had to have been a bit cleverer if so, but I'm unaware of clear reason to conclude he couldn't use the sword as designed.
