Basically, the first thing we heard about this book, and really the only source on it up until the chapter's release, was Jason's review on Dragonmount, where the imbecile proved that he is well-suited to a technical occupation like running a website, and grotesquely unqualified for literary criticism or analysis. Call these complaints a criticism of Jason, rather than B-Sand or Harriet or Tom Doherty, if you will, but the ONLY information we had on the book was that the person who read it claimed he could not tell which parts were written by Sanderson & which by RJ.
My post that this was not RJ's writing was simply a comment on what we had been led to believe. I do not blame Sanderson for not trying to mimic RJ, or for writing in his own style, except for the fact that I do not like his style. I expressed concerns on the wotmania MB about this, and as far as I am concerned, they have proven justified.
That being said, WoT by Sanderson is still better than no more WoT.

I think Lews Therin's comments to Rand were the most hugely significant part of the chapter.
