Historians can tell you that the world is messy. Everything is flawed. Until the Wheel stops turning every economic system will prosper then fail, as will every type of state. Notice I did not say every economic theory!
My point is that of course the oaths are flawed, just as all the other regulating factors on channelers in the WOT are. I don't especially think that a bunch of free market channelers would play fairly with the rest of the kids. Unhindered by structure (as bad as a structure as the ones here are), you'd end up with very powerful channelers becoming something akin to the Forsaken.

Nuclear weapons were only deployed when ONE country had them. Never since.

Channelers making ter'angreal for ordinary people to use (a common AoL practice, BTW) is insane? *NM*

If I recall correctly- those were the last of the 'true' Aes Sedai.

Actually the BWB or RJ said no AoL Aes Sedai survived the Breaking.

Technically, the Breaking ended when the last Male AS died, so female AS could survive past it *NM*

We can hope... but I honestly don't see it happening. It's complicated.

So, what you're saying is that Aes Sedai should actually live up to their name?
