... but not that particular bit you just summarized.
Typically, when this comes up, I use the FoH episode to explain (rather than that PoD episode you use) because it's a little more straight forward (to me, anyway).
If it weren't for the FoH episode, I'd probably dismiss the PoD one. I agree there is some fishiness there, too, but it can be dismissed as sloppy writing, etc. without a whole lot of effort. So could the FoH episode, for that matter, except RJ's quote implies there wasn't an error in that scene. That makes it harder to dismiss, for me.
Good to talk to you again - it's been a while.

An argument can be made that RJ disliked to admit he goofed. Witness that awkward mistake he made about who was at the Cleansing. Of course I realize that if the quote you mention is one of those instances, that makes my theory even weaker. To be truthful, I doubt that it will ever be proved or disproved. Unfortunately my crystal ball is in sever need of re-calibration.

Is he a 'master' of T'A'R or does he just know a few tricks?

Slayer would just use TAR to appear at a certain location in the Real World to surprise Asmo...

It was based on Aviendha's gateway, I think. Seanchan timezones were involved, IIRC. *NM*

Another plot flaw: Moiraine doesn't wear gypsy jewelry or cheap girdles around her waist.
