Siuan, Leaine and Meidani were all rebels, though. And they are all weak. The Hall would not accept these choices, I think.
In AS terms Meidani is by no means weak. She has enough strength to open a Gateway and pick up and carry a dead body (let's say 150lbs, Verin was plump) at the same time... the majority of AS wouldn't be able to do this. In addition, we know that women with vast strength differentials don't "hang out" in AS world ... Meidani must be high enough up to make it appropriate for her and Elaida to be friends. I'd say she's rather Strong in AS terms.

I really thing its high time we see the ability vs. choices factor into the silly AS thinking. I hope it happens in the next few books.
Although it is a lot to wish for given Amyrlin Egwene I'm-going-to-regress-and-hug-the-Oath-Rod.

That was a not a policy statement, it was a parable.

Yep. That's why she probably WOULD tell him, but she'd be reluctant at best. *NM*

Some presidents had spiritual advisors who offered guidance on moral & policy issues.
