The Forsaken that created the Oaths in the first place must have messed up

Many indications are that Ishamael created them and kept up with history enough to know that the White Tower used the Oath Rod to control their Aes Sedai after a certain point.
I think Ishamael created the Dark Oaths, and being a philosopher (i.e. very lacking in common sense and with a very limited understanding of human nature), he messed up and made poetic sounding Oaths that were not foolproof.

Why is there a loophole in the Dark Oaths?

As far as we know, they're just regular Oath Rod oaths. There's no surveillance

Although given how we know Oaths work, they wouldn't have to die.
