Shadowspawn are corrupted versions of real living creatures - humans/trollocs, wolves/darkhounds, etc. They breed and create their own offspring, hence the word spawn.
Gholam do not breed, are not created from living creatures and cannot be described as spawn. They were constructed using some combination of the One and True Powers. Essentially they are walking, talking, killing ter'angreal.
There is no reason to think that weapons that are effective against shadowspawn will work on Gholam, and indeed we've seen time and again that this is the case.
The Gholam is definitely Shadowspawn. Additionally, all Shadowspawn are constructs. All constructs - except the Gholam, which apparently is a "higher level" of Shadowspawn - are affected by deathgates.

Yes, RJ confirmed that Shadowspawn can't survive gateways. *NM*

And then BS confirmed that gholam are "more perfected" Shadowspawn which can.

Why would them not being able to survive a gateway be a problem?

They prepared a place, and it just happened to be within walking distance of the attack?

Please re-read the chapter. It expalins a lot.

Likely picked from a handful of pre-determined locations based on where and when the attack occurred

Not realty. Caemlyn is huge by the standards of the time but realistically it's tiny

The sizes I proposed are not huge (well, they would be by standards in the middle ages but not now)

I believe Caemlyn is less than 300k people .... That's what .05% the size of London?

That would be an error if it hadn't been Skimming (the platform and what not) they were using.

It is an error because they opened a skimming gateway to the house (from the skimming place)

I'm confused now as to what you're arguing. They knew the location of the house.

I stand corrected. Though I will say that the uses in the books don't match the definition.
