Regarding the Foresaken meeting where they're worried about him... what makes you think someone of, say, Egwene's strength with LTT's memories popping up randomly is NOT a danger?
Remember that Demandred apparently would launch himself at Rand only if he had a sa'angreal. I think when you reach the upper skill levels the Foresaken are at, you need significant strength gaps to ensure success. Anything less, and there's too much chance the battle can go either way, which is why they're worried about Rand. The Foresaken need certainty of victory while fighting against him, they're not ready to face him otherwise.

I really hate to bring up strength in the OP, but thankfully it doesn't regard Egwene or any women.

Aginors defeat could be a result of multiple factors. So can Ishmaels

Regardless, Rand was clearly in the same strength category when Aginor and he faced off

He didn't face Asmodean he chased him and wrestled him over a sa'angreal.

Asmo hurled plenty of stuff at Rand during the "Chase" it wasnt all that much different

There is also no why to tell if Flinn hit Demandred with all the strength available to him either
