In other words, counting TGS. Sorry if I was too vague.
That's how I felt about "Did Verin lie?" As things "intuitively obvious to even the most casual reader" go that one was a no brainer: Verin or Moiraine lied, and we have too many Mo PoVs to think she did. The debate raged on and I always felt greatly outnumbered. Almost from the start I thought the three lasting Big Questions were:
1) Who Killed Asmo?
2) Is Moiraine Dead?
and
3) Did Verin Lie?
Two of those are answered now. Sanderson promised the first one will be also, so be patient.
Verin and her plan were never a major debate. It was never at a level of "Who is Demandred?" and "Who killed Asmodean?" The latter has become drawn out way, way too long.

There were wards on the door to get in (which Gateways kinda invalidate).

It's at least consistent Forsaken idiocy, considering what we saw before...

I think that's only for the Amyrlin. IIRC, no one else ever calls initiates daughters.

I've been waiting since 1994 to find out who killed Asmodean. *NM*

Who hasn't? But I just don't see what the fuss is about. It's obviously not that important. *NM*
