CoT wasn't his worst book. Anyway, do you honestly believe what you're saying? Do you really believe that putting the finishing touches on someone else's work of a lifetime constitutes being a "real hero?" I was being facetious when I said it was an excellent argument; it is, in fact, idiotic.

Egwene was just the tool (yay for double meanings ) that Verin chose to complete her work. Verin could have given her list to anyone. Without Egwene, Verin would have delivered her information to someone else, who may have done a better job of acting on it. Without Verin, there is no list and the Black Ajah remains a hidden threat.
