Nynaeve temporarily holds Logain shielded on her own, but average strength Aes Sedai cannot... - Edit 1

Dagian is weaker than Siuan, and Siuan admits that she herself is only half as strong as the average Aes Sedai. So most likely those 6 women who struggled to shield Logain were each on average twice as strong as Dagian.
Meaning that the raw strength of the 6 women holding Logain could easily have been 12 times that of Dagian.
And according to them if just 5 of them had held the shield (e.g. about 10 times Daigian's strength) then Logain would have had a chance of breaking free.
Now I'm sorry, but it is pretty clear that the gulf from Daigian to Nynaeve is in the order of 8-10 TIMES or more.
So from the point of view of a normal Aes Sedai, if the gap between Nynaeve and Egwene was just the equivalent of 1 Dagian, then that's hardly going to be anything amazing, considering that you'll only be talking about the difference between someone who is as strong as 9 Dagian's versus someone who is as strong as 10 Dagians.
So I beg to differ. The gap between Nynaeve and Egwene is quite clearly significantly more than Dagian's strength.
