Elayne doesn't have an angreal in that scene, though she is linked to Renaille and Merilille. Both of those women are not of great strength. Merilille cannot Travel, and Renaille was too weak to be included in the circle that used the Bowl.
Yet, she says she can lay waste to the palace. Something Nynaeve thinks Alivia can do, and no one else (at that point, Nynaeve wasn't at full strength).
If Elayne plus two moderately weak women can match Alivia, I have strong doubts if they cannot beat Rand. Proves again to me that Elayne is closer to the Forsaken in strength than the AS.

Strength of circle = Elayne (50) + Merilille (20) + Renaille (20) = 90
*drumroll* ... I estimate Alivia to be at about 90. Nynaeve actually thinks that Alivia can only tear down half the Sun Palace
Taim can destroy the farm as far as the eye can see and I think his strength is similar to Alivia's.Ugh Fionwe... you disturbed the peace by starting a strength debate. I loathe you and admire you. Damn you man.

Is Rand logical when he estimates female danger?

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

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*
