In the scene in TGS where Rand met Moridin while dreaming, Moridin rather casually told Rand that the DO couldn't resurrect Chosen who had been balefired.
Why do you think he did that?
1) Was it a spur-of-the-moment comment, that he regretted making afterwards?
2) Was it a deliberate revelation, calculated to encourage Rand to balefire the Chosen? If so, why? Does he want the Chosen (permanently) whittled away further, or does he think that Rand wielding BF will destablize the Pattern more, making it that much easier for the DO to break free? Both? Some other reason?
3) Was it a spur-of-the-moment comment, but he truly doesn't care if Rand acts on the information or not? If so, why doesn't he care? Are the Chosen (including Moridin himself) no longer critical to the DO's plans? Is Moridin's nihilism so ... complete that he truly doesn't care if Rand were to destroy him with bafefire at this point, or does he, for some legitimate reason, feel immune to that possible fate (at least for the time being)?
4) Some other reason?

Yep, I'm not really 100% on most things in the series unless there is no doubt.

Moridin probably just wanted the access key to prevent the Cleansing

So the DO's Hand doesn't know about the AK? And we have a quote with Elza's orders where?

If Elza had the order to take the access key, she would have taken it

He might not know about the access key in the box or have other priorities. *NM*
