I would say that I think given some of the answers we've received to issues in the series, it is a common reaction to go to far in the other direction and become a "theory nazi", rejecting anything you don't think is possible beased upon your own subjectively-laden interpretation of the series. There are degrees of likelihood but truly, we are dealing with a situation where the current writer had to defer to an assistant, which suggests to me that there is a lot of room for error.

And, you know, given the theories that floated around regarding the Finns, magical wishes, Dark One tampering, True Power Shields and etc, say she chooses not to reveal her true strength until the right moment seems rather conservative to me.

Actually, I didn't mean to imply that my idea of female strength is related to body size ... - 20/01/2010 10:10:48 PM 734 Views
LOL ... I hear ya on that - 20/01/2010 10:17:02 PM 815 Views
I'm so pleased this theory is false! - 12/12/2010 05:00:06 PM 676 Views
people didn't like it when I proposed it - 20/01/2010 05:31:18 PM 992 Views

I don't like the idea that she was healed by a woman - 20/01/2010 05:48:19 PM 805 Views
I agree, and it seems unlikely that a new "better" method - 20/01/2010 06:07:04 PM 750 Views
It's NOT due to Stilling or Healing and it's NOT due to Cyndane's weaker body... - 20/01/2010 06:46:08 PM 851 Views
I think Moiraine's gaining strength seems a little too LotR. - 20/01/2010 06:55:34 PM 757 Views
I also like that theory - 20/01/2010 07:14:20 PM 802 Views
I think BS's error regarding Cyndane's strength can also be explained by this theory... - 20/01/2010 07:17:59 PM 752 Views
Yes perhaps - 20/01/2010 07:25:06 PM 804 Views
Cadsuane is considerably stronger than Moiraine - 20/01/2010 07:31:42 PM 783 Views
Nope... - 20/01/2010 07:38:55 PM 750 Views
I disagree as usual - 20/01/2010 07:45:29 PM 662 Views
We don't know the magnitude of what Aes Sedai consider a significant strength difference... - 20/01/2010 07:54:38 PM 761 Views
You are comparing Male and female strength here - 20/01/2010 08:18:45 PM 827 Views
Why do you misquote Moiraine? - 20/01/2010 08:39:55 PM 751 Views
Cadsuane isn't too strong - 21/01/2010 04:19:41 AM 760 Views

I think it makes more sense... - 21/01/2010 02:34:30 PM 804 Views
Lanfear would have been toast if Moiraine had the angreal, plus foreknowledge of the confrontation.. - 21/01/2010 02:38:57 PM 744 Views

I don't think BS words or Cyndane's comments really prove anything. - 21/01/2010 04:42:59 PM 771 Views
BS says that Cyndane is truly weaker. So, this theory is out. *NM* - 21/01/2010 04:46:48 PM 516 Views
