Her omission is glaring, as it is meant to be to add to the whole idea of an Egwene-Rand conflict that has been built up (shoddily and inconsistently) in the previous two books. If you read their statements and PoVs on each other in ToM, its pretty clear they either keep changing their minds, or Sanderson felt the need, every now and then, do unsubtly remind us that they were in disagreement, to build up "tension" that was completely lost in the book split.
Name one example where Egwene showed Rand how to be a better person, helped him become more ethical and compassionate, or advised him to take the more moral option when he had to make a tough decision. Just one.
It's good to be right. Especially when you see Rand list his good influences in ToM

Well, she DID try to deflate his ego, but then she punished those who returned the favor to her.
