This is why I think a non-general sent the Trollocs after Rand in KoD. It's the dumbest plan ever. There is no way that army could kill 30 Ashaman and Aes Sedai and a group of the deadliest channelers in the Light. Rand didn't lose a single channeler, and not even one of them got injured. For all this Forsaken knew, Rand could have used the Choedan Kal on this army - he certainly still has the male Access Key. This attack could thus only have been 'brilliantly' orchestrated by someone like Moghedien or Graendal. Demandred and Moridin almost exclude themselves because of the low IQ of this military blunder.
... the attack was meant to verify specifically this. After all, the female Access Key melted and that half of the Chodean Kal became unusable. Maybe the attack was intended to find out if the male half was still in use?
I thought about this while posting it. But Rand didn't use it. So what has this Forsaken concluded then?

Well, yeah. They're knowledgable and deadly in person. Generalship doesn't come into it.

Birgitte is too cautious to be better than an adequate tactician.
