Well that quote perfectly illustrates the skewed way in which you interpret the evidence... Shannow Send a noteboard - 03/01/2010 06:18:22 PM
A Crown of Swords
The Figurehead

And what if she had still been here? she wondered. With the necklace off, and maybe whoever freed her? Shivering, she withdrew slowly. Moghedien had good reason to dislike her, very personally, and the only sister who could match one of the Forsaken alone, when she could channel at all, was in Ebou Dar. Moghedien could have killed Egwene without anyone noticing; even had a sister felt her channel, there would be nothing remarkable in that. Worse, Moghedien might not have killed her. And no one would have known anything until they found the pair of them gone.


This quote seems to close the case completely to me. It clearly shows that Egwene herself feels that she has no chance whatsoever against Moghedien.

The argument about skill is baseless, because Egwene has more skill and experience than Nynaeve, and yet she does not state that Moghedien offers the same threat level to Nynaeve than she does to Egwene. In fact, to the contrary, she states that Nynaeve can equal Moghedien.

She is clearly talking in the context of strength. In the very same quote and in the same context, Egwene then states that Moghedien could do whatever she wished with Egwene.

That completely settles the debate. Your weak attempts to transfer the point of discussion to refer to things other than strength doesn't hold water in the slightest.

So when I say that Egwene herself says that she has no chance against Moghedien, I ask you, how on earth is that not conveyed by the very quote that you so painstakingly provided in the post above?
