A few seconds is the same as a few hours, in this situation

Bel'al's thread was burned backwards in the pattern, say by 10 seconds. That means that the DO would have had to "catch" Bel'al's life 10 seconds ago to ressurect him.
However, the DO didn't catch him, because 10 seconds ago, Bel'al wasn't dead!
It's paradox, which pops up whenever balefire enters into the equation.
You COULD make some sort of justification that the 10-seconds-ago Dark One would have saved Bel'al, thus making Bel'al reincarnated in the present, and it'd make more or less sense in some other series... but that's not how things work in WoT.

I amuse myself.

I've always found this to be a silly theory

I don't think he'd have considered it at all without this aspect.

Except for mentions of the fellow pretending to be Sammael.

Honestly, I do think Graendal was posing as Sammael, but we can't know for sure.
