Did Cadsuane actually get any secrets from Semirhage during her breakdown? - Edit 1

Any news on the other Forsaken? Demandred's plans? Anything?
If not, I find the justification for Semirhage's breadkown and humiliation from a plot perspective even more unconvincing.
It's purpose was supposedly for the Light to gain vital information from her. But in the end, it seems her aura as the ultimate Forsaken badass was destroyed for no plot purpose whatsoever.
She could still have captured Rand with the adam if she had just escaped from captivity without being broken by Cadsuane.
So other than meet RJ's need for "Bad Guy humiliation", the destruction of her repuation was for nothing.
