I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand.

And that only two of them Linked would be needed to match Nynaeve.
But I never truly relied on the numbers for anything other than illustrative purposes when ranking channelers so to me it works thematically. I actually think it rather elegantly would illustrate what RJ was saying about males having additional capacity over women for the Power: Three women of Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha can match the strongest male, while two women from that group could match Lanfear (Aviendha wasn't at full strength when they fought her, and due to the POV we don't know if they were Linked).

"Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness."
Is Rand logical when he estimates female danger?

I'd actually go with Elayne in matters of battle.

If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead

I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender.

Do fat kids run marathons? No. And no Rand isn't logical when he estimates female danger. *NM*
