The more I think about it (Egwene and the Rebels)

Two things come to mind, that I don't think the Rebels/Egwenists/War Hawks can defend.
1. Did Egwene and the Rebels cause Elaida's downfall?
2. Did Egwene and the Rebels expedite Elaida's downfall?
I don't see any way that anyone can truthfully answer "yes" to either question.
For 1) I think it is is a mix of Elaida's own undoing and ultimately the Seanchan death blow.
For 2) there is nothing. Nothing that Egwene and the Rebels did caused sped up the process in any way.
So... what exactly did the whole side-plot accomplish? Even if Egwene and the Rebels had just went along and conceded, Elaida would still have been captured in her sleep, at exactly the same moment.
Seems like a rather lengthy aside to to put a specific person (Egwene) on the Amyrlin's Seat.

You made the assertion, it's not my responsibility to disprove you,

Egwene could've done most of what she did without screentime. *NM*
