I'll respond when you can actually provide a few actual quotes to support any of this

All you've shown is that Channeler X could have more Talent for Traveling than Channeler Y.
Egwene may only have 50% of Rands Traveling Talent, thus relying more on Strength to make her large Gateway and thus being more than 50% as effective.

I've been playing with some numbers since we've been having all of these OP strength debates

Didn't you claim that Eggy+Rom+Lel cannot match a male forsaken? Now they can match Lanfear?

RJ also pointed out that Alivia's skill set as a weapon came in handy

Yes. It essentially refers to a skewed histogram - biased to the lower end of the range...

Not if you point out that the average AS is not as strong as the overall average channeler
25/12/2009 04:30:17 AM

yet RJ has said flat out that OP strength is on an Bell Curve. Meaning the majority of channelers

The most logical answer is that the average AOL channeler was stronger than the current average...
21/12/2009 06:36:07 PM

and that in no way maps to any kind of Bell Curve

I agree that it's practically impossible to determine strength

How convenient. And by the way, it is NOT tied to a Talent. Anyone who is strong enough, can Travel. *NM*

Seriously go re-read the series, how can you have missed that Traveling is a Talent?
23/12/2009 04:54:51 PM

It is a weave, the knowledge of which guarantees that you can use it, if you are strong enough...

Yet every AS can Heal to a degree and Cloud Dancing involves weaves too

Lews Therin can't Heal. Aginor can't Heal. If you don't have the Talent, you can't do it. *NM*

LTT and Aginor have "Little Ability" with Healing
23/12/2009 06:02:13 PM

Because the channelers THEMSELVES don't use Healing to judge each other's strength...
23/12/2009 06:06:58 PM

The Channelers state that there is a minimum level of strength to make the Weave work

No, it makes her 25% as strong as Rand! Thanks for proving my model to be virtually perfect!

I'll give you that there is a stength limitation to Traveling

Why do the characters in the books judge each other's strength on gateway size then? *NM*
