Depending on their level they would probably be aware of this knowledge - e.g. let's say, Leadbeater who learned of this knowledge and then succumed to vain glory, one could say that he as a newly recruited dugpa would have a fair insight into the laws of nature etc. given out by the Masters.
If we take a look at the evidence presented it seems that if a dugpa was operating through the TS there most likely avenue of mischief would be to cause misinformation on the teachings, the main aim being to cause a lack of credibility of those teachings.
IMO, which has no solid evidence, the more disharmony these dugpas create the more energy they have to work with, however, I believe they are limited in these powers and should humanity turn the corner in compassion and understanding they would have nothing to work with. As far as a war in heaven between the white brotherhood and the shadow brotherhood, I believe, will never occur, they are limited, the white brotherhood is not, but in order to work with our energy, and because of karma, we(humanity) need to change our thinking and turn away from materialism. Although I do not mean by this that we should all adorn ourselves in sackcloth and begging bowls! lol

There have been certain scientists in the past that have intuitively known, eg Keely, that if what he learnt was given out freely to the world this knowledge could be used to destroy humanity. I guess in science one cannot surround the truth in parable or allegory.

The Higher Self is made witness to the pledge, and occult forces from your Higher Self are activated and cannot be put back to sleep until you either succeed or fail on your journey over however many lifetimes it takes. It is a serious pledge.
