Re: He drew graphs! fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 30/10/2012 01:57:05 PM


As I said before, if you are absolutely convinced of Jordans infallability, I guess there is nothing I can say.

On these issues? Yes, I am. His assistant even confirmed this, so this isn't some one off mistake.
However, the fact that he drew a graph which he used as a tool for placing less important Aes Sedai is not proof that he obeyed the statistics he laid out in that quote at all times. He has made mistakes, from time to time.

No, the graph wasn't just for Aes Sedai. It was for channelers in general. The Aes Sedai got the strength list with 21 levels.

Did Perva actually initiate the link or was it Androl? *NM* TheCrownless - 24/10/2012 07:02:15 PM 942 Views
Androl did. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 25/10/2012 05:10:31 AM 1136 Views
