This point kind of goes against what you are saying though. Nynaeve should never have been able to shield Moghedien or Talaan, not be unable to shield Elayne!
I too have been frustrated by this passage. I contribute this to the characters' mistaken assumptions. I think it was RJ showing us that the characters do not know everything. Alternatively, at the time of this statement it could have been true, but not true now?
Also, don't forget that Nynaeve is held by the two black ajah in Ebou Dar, but once she breaks free, she evenly matches against the two. That says a lot about how strong Nynaeve was at the time.
Is Nynaeve of "very rare" strength?

Actually, you are adding a word that isn't there.

IMO, it's self evident that the female list only contains named characters

I find it unlikely that a super strong channeler would end up being unimportant to the plot *NM*

So, in terms of Nynaeve's power, do you think she is VERY rare? *NM*

Yes. She is so rare that she is mythic. A foiled Nynaeve can prolly fetch $100.

Don't forget Therava. She's stronger than any woman in the tower according to Galina.

Fionwe1987 is right. We do have a large enough sample. And the linking examples are good. *NM*
