Yes, and that's the point of a scale of 1 to 100 that takes dexterity and strength into account. If you merely have a scale of strength, most men are stronger than the women, but if you factor in dexterity they two sexes tend to become equal. No one's saying it's exact, but he says you can pretty much equate the strongest man and woman.



So you took the liberty of saying that all women can make a bigger Air bridge than the strongest male in the world. I find that extremely unlikely. If anything he's saying that a woman weaker than him in the Power, but not absurdly weaker, can perform such a feat. I'd very much like to see Moiraine make an air bridge that can support a whole delegation of people - Siuan herself could only lift three times her own weight.



Of course it exists. A fireball is Fire - and we don't know how it's woven but it's probably different. It doesn't mean that the two are incomparable. When Semirhage weaves a pain weave for men she says it's different - but it's still Fire and Spirit, just like she used in LoC. She also doesn't draw on huge or lesser quantities of saidin - she can accurate apply the same amount of the Power with a different form of weaving. Same with Elza - she'd never used saidin before but she knew how much to wield when using it. They're clearly comparable in their uses, if not the way they're woven.



They're opposite and the same. You can't just ignore the 'same' part.
