The angreal magnifies the power of the individual holding it, not that of the entire circle.

Of things RJ said on angreals.
Since most people will be unsure of if you are right or not.
I always thought that an angreal allowed you to channel "x" ammount more, which is why when Asmo and Rand used the CK they were both about equal despite Rand being stronger in the power.
As for the Egwene thing, she was in a circle, it wouldn't matter, she had the power of loads of novices behind her.
Thats why I think you might be wrong about the multiplying effect, can you imagine how powerful the CK would be in a circle of 64 if that were the case?
It makes sense that it allowes "x" ammount extra and doesn't scale (which is why weaker channelers couldn't use the CK).

An angreal magnifies the Power of the individual holding it, not that of the entire circle. If that individual is part of a circle, he/she will merely add a greater amount of Power to the circle, thanks to the angreal.
Also, in the Asmodean/Rand case, they were equally balanced because at the time, they were equal in strength. Rand was not yet at his full power, and he was not in good physical shape. The net result was that he and Asmodean were perfectly matched when they shared access to the Choedan Kal.
Sanderson's understanding of angreal is totally wrong...

On the basis that we dont agree on the use of sa'angreals on a group.

There's never been any indication that sa'angreal work through a different mechanism to angreal...

It has always been a viable theory, and Sanderson seems convincing...EDIT: RJ's take

Do you still stick by the exponential theory?

sa'angreal and angreal are only different in terms of the magnitude of their effects *NM*

In fact, I've just read the actual report, and Sanderson didn't say anything near what you quoted.
