Re: That there is far more to strength in her quote!

I'm saying Egwene knows that there are multiple things at play:
1. Moghedien is stronger than her (d'uh, I've never said otherwise)
2. Moghedien hates her very personally (presumably for things that happened off screen)
3. Moghedien might have one of the Male FS with her
4. Moghedien is vastly more skilled than Egwene and as such she would be able to kill her with out anyone even knowing she had been there.
You guys seem to think that because she mentions strength in a comment that it's the only point of the comment. I don't think RJ was that ham-handed in his writing. It should be "intuitively obvious to even the most casual reader" that RJ was giving us a lot of information about the situation... hell we already knew that Nynaeve was the only woman around with the Strength to face a FS, what's the point of repeating it?

I think you've made this issue, like a few others, much more important than it should be. It was a worthy deflection of the topic at hand, but ultimately ridiculous. The whole point of the quote is to show that Egwene considers Nynaeve to be the only one who can stand up to the Forsaken. That disputes your claim that Egwene is only a small step below Moghedien.
