Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant

Let's start at the beginning again, then.
As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. Prophecies of confirmed accuracy tell us that the Aiel will be reduced to a remnant of a remnant by Rand, but Aviendha's vision has at its core problem that the Aiel are too plentiful and powerful, and therefore got bored.

You are making an assumption that the remnant are somehow the only survivors of TG when in fact the Prophesy says 2 things:
1. He will break them
2. He will Save a remnant of a remnant
The second statement is an active not a passive statement. It does not say "a remnant of a remnant will survive being broken"
This could as easily be interprete as Rand overtly choosing a group of Aiel as "saved ones" ... Perhaps he will effect some treaty or law that allows those who return to their true heritage to live in peace someplace and the rest choose to go their own way and become bored etc...

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

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well.

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

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

Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the 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

All of which is entirely irrelevant.

Yes, but in that case, he is responsible for everything, ever.

We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing
