Re: He drew graphs! Tor Send a noteboard - 30/10/2012 07:43:54 AM
Great. The author was wrong about the mechanics of his own created world. Excellent argument!


As I said before, if you are absolutely convinced of Jordans infallability, I guess there is nothing I can say.

However, the fact that he drew a graph which he used as a tool for placing less important Aes Sedai is not proof that he obeyed the statistics he laid out in that quote at all times. He has made mistakes, from time to time.
Fram kamerater!

Did Perva actually initiate the link or was it Androl? *NM* TheCrownless - 24/10/2012 07:02:15 PM 686 Views
Androl did. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 25/10/2012 05:10:31 AM 940 Views
But didn't Nynaeve do it first at the cleansing? TheCrownless - 25/10/2012 12:43:15 PM 1095 Views
Pevara was thinking on very sketchy information. Great Lord of Chaos - 25/10/2012 08:56:20 PM 1025 Views
