And as for Ramshalan, why would it even matter? I'm pretty certain that any level of Compulsion could be detected by delving, but few characters are delved. I mean Elza is a far more likely target for suspicion but even she isn't put under suspicion. So I think it's more likely that Graendal was trying to play games with Rand and instead fell for a larger ploy.
As for Kerb, I think that it's far more likely that he was simply following his programming in a way that Graendal could not anticipate. Its a lot like programming software - you can write the most complex software in the world, and it can STILL display emergent behaviours and lead to unintended consequences.

Additional clues that something doesn't quite add up in Graendal's death

"Well known" and "largely forgotten" are about as opposite as you can get!

Or it could be due to two different authors writing the story and nothing else. *NM*

Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael.

Fine, then what if she changed location after Sammael was compromised?

Go re-read it... I said there are discrepancies between what Sammael said and what Rand said

Graendal is Toast with a capital T. Not possibly dead, not likely dead, 100% gone.

The discrepancies are due to the series being over 12 books long...

Yes; but those pieces of evidence basically separate the 2 schools of thought on her "death scene" *NM*
