Could the Oath Rod have been used on tainted men in the AoL?

The Oath Rod can forcibly control you.
If the Oath Rod could have been administered to AS men in the AoL they could have sworn 'Never to channel the OP as a weapon' OR 'Never to touch the True Source'.
You could only go insane by touching Saidin or continuing to use it.
Between the options of going insane, death, being severed or being forced not to use the OP as a weapon, or not touching the True Source at least the last option allows you to feel the True Source.
It makes you wonder why it was never tried as a possibility to control men who can channel.

They could just be forced to take an oath to never touch the OP again.

Right, because they had the physical capacity to resist channeling, at least for a while.

Do you REALLY think that with all the Tower's experiments on linking, they never tried it on men?
