This is my point entirely! You CANNOT redifine the words to suit yourself.
Since you want to use WoT as and example I will cite Enyclopedia Wot, considered by many many many people to be an expert resource on all thing WoT. If you look up Aginor, his entry basically ends with his death in EoTW. Yes his DEATH! Osan'gar appears later. He is Aginor's soul reincarnated, but he is NOT Aginor! Aginor is dead! My point is that you can say that Cyndane is Lanfear reincarnated but Lanfear had to die before Cyndane appeared. That means that she was killed.
You can possibly make the argument that the death was not as effective due to the intercedence of the DO (the ultimate deus ex machina) but you cannot say that an AS (Moiraine) neither killed Lanfear or caused her to be killed. To blame the AS for her reincarnation as Cyndane is ignorant and short sighted. Since this ignorance was the main point of the original poster, I called him on it.

NaCl(you can argue all you want but the AS killed 3 Forsaken, the fact that they came back doesn't mean they weren't killed)H2O ' />
