That has more to do with the nature of both weaves

If balefire is an extremely powerful weapon that channels a concentrated beam of anti-reality, than it makes sense that it would penetrate a defense that works by creating a physical barrier. Rand was thinking of fireballs, lightning bolts, arrows and other physical attacks. We have no indication that a Shield or another weave that blended physical/metaphysical effects couldn't penetrate it.

I'm inclined to agree, but there are other possibilities

Seems pretty obvious to me that she released it (and was holding it) before the BF hit it

Balefire's reversal of actions taken only works on living things that can perform said actions.

Agreed. I think Graendal's weave is only undone if the BF hits her, not the gateway *NM*

It is true. Objects do not have threads that can be affected by balefire.

This will sound bad to say and I realize it sounds more petulant than it is...

sceen=scene, yes? And I didn't mean confusing to me. I meant to others. It's always been clear to me

Thank you for reminding us of the scene, but it doesn't sell me completely.
