Ignoring your cheap shot at his character/motivations, what you consider your "evidence" is not at all conclusive.

Incidentally, and I know professors don't like to see students use it as a source, according to Wikipedia:

"The real danger of balefire, however, is that it can undo (or erase) the past actions of anyone it hits... Balefire has different effects based on what it hits. For living beings, a mere touch seems to be enough to wipe the entire being from existence. For normal structures and objects, it seems to destroy only what it touches."

Most other online sources I've searched all seem to say pretty much the same thing about balefire: "When it encounters anything living, that thing is instantly destroyed, and depending on the strength of the beam, the thread of that thing is burned back in time, which may result in undoing things which it has done."
