They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel

i think the Aiel who will survive as the remnant will be those that accept the true heritage of the Aiel.
Nobody has argued against that possibility. As I discussed with DomA, it is in fact most probable that it will play a significant part.
The issue, if you will recall, is that I claimed that the fact that the Aiel were not destroyed in Aviendha's vision meant that it was impossible according to more reliable prophecies. You claimed that alternate definitions of the Aiel could render this possible.
Since then, I've been trying to get you to provide a definition of the Aiel that makes this possible. But you haven't. Every time it comes down to it, you are redefining the "remnant of a remnant", not the "Aiel".
The prophecy contains two parts: A remnant of a remnant of those who call themselves Aiel will be destroyed, and the rest of them will be destroyed. If you can redefine Aiel in a way that is both consistent with Aviendha's vision and with both parts of this prophecy, feel free to do so.
Aviendah's vision does not define ALL the Aiel. In fact, her vision lays out a possibility of how the rest of the Aiel meet their end. There is no reason to believe that there were ther groups of Aiel who were not destroyed by the Seanchan ... Those who may well have gone to the Tuatha'an could very well have embraced the Way and still survive. Deny the Tuatha'an as part of the Aiel if it suits you, but the fact remains we know that they are related to them. Just because they no longer claim the name Aiel, does not mean they are not Aiel. May as well say a lion living in the zoo is no longer a lion because it's not in Africa.

The entire point, I believe, is to give Avienda the opportunity to change that future

As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway.

What I am saying is that it's not a "pure bloodline" that makes one an Aiel

You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible.

No , I said there were many ways to interpret the statement based on how one defines Aiel
