I really don't see why that single quote, way early in the series, and by no means even remotely accurate, should give any definition to a possible strength list.
The only way the candle to bonfire comparison makes sense is if Egwene is strength 1 or 2 to Nynaeve's 95, which is so out of the realm of possibility as to be ludicrous.
The facts we have point to Nynaeve not being able to shield Elayne even when Elayne is drink-addled via her bond. We have Moghedien's statement that Elayne was definitely not a pushover in strength. We have RJ's statement that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha were a step below the Foresaken. We have Egwene laying traps in her apartment, ready to duke it out with the OP with Mesaana, with no mention of even an angreal.

The real question is - What percentage of her full strength did Nynaeve achieve by Book 4?

I find that unlikely

Easy question for you: Based on the evidence, what percentage of her strength was Nynaeve at in tSR?

There are a number of comments from Q&As that shows that this is possible and more complex.

None of which I disagree with, but a far cry from women being weaker just due to believing it...
