While there is nothing in the books to indicate that there is no difference between the way angreal and sa'angreal work, there's also no indication that they work the same way. Considering that BS has RJ's notes, and therefore a huge pile of info we don't, I can't see how you could think that his thoughts are wrong. Not to mention the fact that I would think that the WT raid would have at least been outlined by RJ, likely including Egwene's theft of the sa'angreal, which would mean that RJ would have thought that she would have gotten some benefit from it.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
Sanderson's understanding of angreal is totally wrong...

The angreal magnifies the power of the individual holding it, not that of the entire circle.

On the basis that we dont agree on the use of sa'angreals on a group.

There's never been any indication that sa'angreal work through a different mechanism to angreal...

It has always been a viable theory, and Sanderson seems convincing...EDIT: RJ's take

sa'angreal and angreal are only different in terms of the magnitude of their effects *NM*

In fact, I've just read the actual report, and Sanderson didn't say anything near what you quoted.

Re: Look at how similar descriptions of angreal and Sa'angreal affects are in the books.
