You've just said in the previous post that I'm choosing Elayne and her lack of experience over RJ.
They're the SAME. Elayne is RJ.
No. Elayne is a character who can make mistakes about stuff in the series... like believing that Forsaken cannot be reincarnated, for instance. RJ, however, holds all the cards, and thus, his words trump Elayne's.
You're pretending that your own list, wherever it is, has minimal inconsistencies, but you can't explain Aviendha's statement which is one of the few statements of absolute strength comparisons that we have, or Elayne's, which you put down to her own personal sample size which is flawed - as if she's really out there with her inexperience.
Your interpretation ofAviendha's statement is not just contradicted by my list (which I never offered as the only proof) but by the actual fact that two Black sisters much weaker than Amys and Melaine are able to defeat Nynaeve, who is much stronger than Egwene. You've not even tried to explain this, and have ignored it and kept claiming you are right.
