So would be sorely lacking. Setting aside largely irrelevant types like Morgase/Sorilea who can barely even briefly rarely GRASP the Source, much less DO anything with it, many people too weak to be AS still have sufficient strength to actually USE the One Power. And any One Power strength scale omitting people who demonstrably HAVE such strength is incomplete and thus inadequate.

The info on this post contradicts what Terez read in the notes. Per those notes, Daigian, the weakest AS, is level 45/33, not level 72/66. I think this entry has a mistake, in that it says the 66 original levels were for Aes Sedai only. I believe it included all channelers, even Morghase and Sorelia.

Well, Sorilea can actually use the Source reliably ... She showed Cadsuane how to create the Traveling weave, even if she wasn't strong enough to use it herself.

However many ways they meant "dexterity," ALL are precluded by saying, "pure strength"

Sorilea can GRASP the Source reliably; there is no indication she can USE it

Since she looks her age I suspect reaching it is almost entirely due to natural longevity

It MATTERS to everyone; just because it is irrelevant to a hierarchy does not make it absolutely so

theory, lesser strength increases the likely hood of a very specific sometimes untapped talent?

Developed skills are distinct from innate Talents (in Randland, literally) but I would still say no
