Because two women can hold anyone (see Vandene/Adelease etc), but they add a third to hold Semirhage for caution's sake. Egwene can be held by one woman who knows what she's doing, once again proving to you both in the midst of your chaos that Egwene isn't close to Forsaken strength. Its fantastic when squabbling sinks your own theories

Wow. That's a twisted bit of logic. First, I don't think I've even stated that Egwene bing close to Semirhage means they're the same strength. I put Semi at 90-95, and Egwene at 75. That's a considerable distance.
Secondly, while we're told three weak Aes Sedai are enough to hold Semrihage, in the case of Egwene, we're uniformly talking of the strongest of Aes Sedai. Makes a ton of difference to the numbers you'll see.
I'm insisting that one woman as strong as Silviana can hold Egwene, and your counter to that is that two weak women like Daigian and Elza can hold Semirhage? Bravo!
