But he still expressed it confusingly. The clear connotation of the words as written are anti-Nynaeve. I found such a sentiment hard to reconcile with Egwene, and so criticized Sanderson for expressing it so badly.

Your assertion that SANDERSON'S writing has redeemed the Aes Sedai image compared to Jordan is laughable. Absolutely not one single sister raised before the start of the series escapes looking like an idiot at some point in tGS, when the trend of Jordan's last books was restoring the positive image. Cadsuane certainly never got told off or thwarted as she did in tGS, and Merise shows chinks in the armor as well. The debates between Egwene and the sisters in tGS are absurdlly simplistic and the rhetorical and dialectic skills of the sisters are appalling.
