I never said anything about the bell curve not being followed with the AS. Obviously that's not happening.
The Bell Curve describes strength distribution among the population, and it is in that population that RJ said 62.5% of channelers are stronger than a woman who is just weak enough not to be made Aes Sedai (And will thus be strong enough to make the cut to be a modern age AS). This means Sidious and Shannow are saying that 37.5% of all women are weaker then Daigian, which is a ridiculous statement.

Most women in Egwene's group of a thousand will never reach the Shawl. Therefore a huge portion of them are weaker than Daigian. Ridiculous? Read the damn text.
