Re: You can't expect BS to give away things with 2 books to go.

What BS said was to make a vague, general statements with loopholes big enough for an elephane. He chose not to answer the question about the permission at all, and only made a statement about what Semirhage thought, which any reader could also make.
He used the word "generally" which pretty much means it is possible to use TP without permission in some obscure way but this is not normal operating behaviour for TP. However, whether that means Moridin/Rand link or not is anyones guess at this point. It is certainly one possible interpretation however.
Your intepretion is that BS had in mind that Rand can steal TP from Mordin, instead of direct granting from the DO. If he had that in mind, why would he bother to make clarifications? What BS said was, both are possible, and I am not telling the readership which theory is impossible, so argue all you want, and when the next books come out, you will see. Basically a longer version of RAFO.
I don't actually have any particular belief in either theory. _Both_ are possible. Which is actually my point. Infact I think I have actually argued for the possibility of the DO-wanted-Rand-Corrupted theory too. As I said, either could be the case.
This provides no evidence in settling on this issue. If you think Rand did it through Mordin, it is fine. But this does not strengthen your case at all.
I have no case beyond fun speculation, which is all anyone has at this point.

I don't know if Semirhage was sacrificed or not. Either way the Semirhage quote set up tGS 6 books

I'd say that there was a pre-meditated plan or backup plan to sacrifice Semirhage

Moridin and SH knew that the CK could never defeat the dark one so they were happy to leave it

the relevance is that it was impossible without the CK

??? The CK in the hands of a madman is exactly what the Dark One needs to destroy the pattern

So why not give it to Moridin then?

If their plan of taking Rand to Shayol Ghul suceeded then the CK was no longer needed

Could be simple. How do you find an object that "lies hidden"?

It could be, but I would still think they would have noticed the CK sitting next to the male a'dam
