I can't really dispute any of the above since it's essentially been my position for some time. The woman can be infuriating, but that's too be expected (if not justified) in someone who's been making kings and Amyrlins dance to her tune since Romanda was playing with dolls. She does it to everyone, but less with Rand and Nynaeve than with most others, which is no coincidence. Sooner or later I expect her to run afoul of the same "Assuming only you know best and that no one else has the integrity or wit to be trusted with your plans destroys even the greatest" theme that felled Pedron Niall and Elaida, to name just the most prominent. The door has been opened to a more positive lesson, however; if she can recognize, cooperate with and confide in the most capable and trustworthy Lightfriends (e.g. Verin) she could be a vital asset at Tarmon Gaidon. Hopefully confiding in Sorilea wasn't a horrible mistake, but it's heavily implied that even there she hasn't put all her cards on the table (in case you missed it, this is a reference to my suspicion that either Bair or Sorilea is a Darkfriend who revealed the location of the Domination Band Semi used on Rand).

Now, having taken with one hand, I give with the other: I've lost all tolerance for Egwene, and have essentially come to agree with you, Cannoli and your comrades. As I said to him elsewhere, while I don't think the WT or Amyrlin trivial or irrelevant, it's "The Prophecies of the Dragon" not "the Amyrlin". The walls separating Rand and LTTs personalities had been teetering for some time, but by the end of TGS they collapsed completely; for all intents and purposes, Rand and LTT are now a single indistinguishable person. That means Egwenes debate over destroying the Seals boils down to a teenaged girl telling LTT (most powerful channeler ever, gray haired when he died despite never having sworn an Oath and, oh, yeah, CREATOR OF THE SEALS) how to handle both the Seals and the Last Battle he's prophecied to fight and win. We've seen a number of quotations from the Karaethon Cycle; how many even allude to the Amyrlin Seat...?

Here's the good news: If Caddy has learned her lesson, Egwene has not, despite ample opportunities. She pays lip service to risk assessment and caution, but in practice she's still every bit as bad as Siuan when it comes to trusting capable allies, sharing her plans and outright arrogance. She seems to have the attitude that having learned the high price of being a know-it-all she'll never have to learn it again--so she promptly forgets it. RJ has heavily foreshadowed, explicitly stated a few times, that the old Seals must be destroyed before the Bore can be re-patched. That puts Egwene on a collision course with an inevitable and necessary plot element, a conflict she can't win. She's not being bullheaded with Rand, but with Jordan, and you may find the outcome at least partially satisfying (I don't think Jordan is going to off her and/or turn her because she's too well liked by fans and characters, but I do expect a serious comeuppance for her).

Things remain far from certain; the jury seems to still be out on whether Gawyn may yet kill his lady love (not to mention why), and with the White Tower reunited, the Seanchan driven off (for now) and Mesaana beaten, captured and destroyed Egwene probably feels very secure in Tar Valon. Meanwhile, if the WT aspect of my predicted channeler civil war is no longer viable, it remains quite viable for the Asha'man trained as weapons and unbound by the Three Oaths, which makes the difference negligible for any Aes Sedai Bound to them: If their Bondholder dies, they die, and that gives them an out for the Three Oaths against anyone, even the Amyrlin. Perhaps more importantly, Taim is clearly doing what any sensible person had to expect: Turning both Aes Sedai and Asha'man with Myrddraal, and Egwene, despite learning of the process as early as her Accepted test, won't see it coming; with all her apparent enemies vanquished, why should she? It's entirely possible that Gawyn will not only kill Egwene, but do a great service to the Light in the process. In a perfect world I'd not only be right about this, but Taim would reveal himself as a transmigrated Be'lal in the process so I get two birds with one stone. Hey, if you're gonna gamble, the long shots have the best payoffs, right?

Time will tell, but I think Egwene's far from out of the woods yet, and since she's learned that she SHOULD be humble but still can't manage to BE humble, I think the biggest lumps she'll take are yet to come.
