Else he would have.
I think the flows of Saidin "physically" touched the DO during the sealing. Maybe that connection remained, leaving him incompletely sealed. Which was what allowed him to weaken the seals as well as protect his followers from the taint.
Which makes me wonder, when Rand cleansed the source, did he destroy a piece of the Dark One along with Shadar Logoth?

You are right in not liking it - because I also think it is a crappy explanation.
