Re: Egwene is definitely not 2x Amys... Sidious Send a noteboard - 20/11/2012 09:03:40 AM
We know Cadsuane is just short of Egwene

There is no evidence of this, and don't mention the Merana quote - I looked it up and it says no such thing.

The Merana quote is just part of it. The most telling evidence comes from the glossary of aCoS:

Thought to have been born around 705 NE in Ghealdan, which would make her the oldest living Aes Sedai, she was also the strongest in the Power found for a thousand years or more until the advent of Nynaeve, Elayne and Egwene and even they do not far out-step her.


Notice that even Nynaeve is lumped into this category of women not far out-stepping Cadsuane.


Amys herself says that Egwene is much stronger than her in saidar.

And when has this been in debate?


That's better evidence at least.

We know that Cadsuane is weaker than two Sisters. we also know that Siuan would need two-thirds of her strength to retain some good standing in the Tower. Therefore we know that Moiraine/Siuan is not stronger than two reasonably strong Sisters, and the same with Cadsuane. Along with Moiraine's NS quote where she says that Cadsuane is not that strong compared to her, it appears that Cadsuane is not that much stronger than Moiraine. We also know that Egwene is stronger than Melaine+Amys (she was stronger than Moiraine at the beginning of TSR) in TFoH. I think Cadsuane is close to Moiraine than Egwene, though the actual size of this gap is debatable.

Perhaps, but Egwene is also being a bit dramatic in the scene as she managed darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:28:57 AM 1265 Views
Nope... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:13:13 PM 1312 Views
I believe she is being over dramatic darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 03:26:24 PM 1179 Views

You are missing my point completely darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:50:46 PM 1132 Views
Impossible. Daigian is exactly 0.32SD below the mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 11:06:04 AM 1239 Views
You keep saying that, but it is either a linear or a non-linear distribution darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 09:09:32 PM 1318 Views
That's the whole point. Thanks for finally seeing it. Shannow - 19/11/2012 09:43:27 PM 1261 Views
keep believing that ... but you making up numbers isn't really relevant *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:29:44 AM 798 Views
Please show me a number that is made up. The 0.32SD for Daigian is a rule of statistics. Shannow - 20/11/2012 07:15:48 AM 1207 Views

probably ... Lanfear/Cyndane is clearly remarkably skilled darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 02:35:09 PM 1215 Views
Since I've proven that it's not a normal distribution in units of absolute strength, SDs don't apply Shannow - 17/11/2012 07:48:21 PM 1243 Views
You have proven nothing, except that you have an opinion *NM* darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:21:35 AM 775 Views
You simply don't get it. It is mathematically a fact. There is no opinion involved. Shannow - 18/11/2012 02:19:40 PM 1071 Views
Only because you've assigned numeric values. That you created. darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:40:51 PM 1212 Views
It doesn't matter what figure you use... Shannow - 18/11/2012 03:01:56 PM 1103 Views
What if Daigian is one third Lanfear's strength? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 04:37:58 PM 1248 Views
We have a limit for Daigian's strength, as you well know. Shannow - 18/11/2012 05:41:49 PM 1205 Views
Are you kidding me? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 09:07:38 PM 1335 Views

Oops, typo! darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 02:54:25 AM 1219 Views
Again, not possible, due to Daigian being just 0.3SD below the Mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 08:37:01 AM 1176 Views
