It seems to me that Taim's skills are skewed towards personal protection, manipulation of the human body and control - not quite a match for the training Elayne received from the Windfinders, the Tower, Egwene (hence, some benefits of the damane and Wise One training system) and others.
Taim was a lesser False Dragon compared to Logain, IMO, because his knowledge of channeling extends in a different direction. That being said, I still think he's a potent threat, just that he may have a few tricks in his sleeves but I think Elayne would be more dynamic and able to destroy him without worrying about it too much.

Well I'd go for Taim. I'll usually go for a very high strength channeler because they tend to have an affinity for the One Power not seen in weaker channelers. Taim's also Forsaken trained I think and that would make him extremely dangerous. Of course, if Taim is Moridin then the result of this debate is a foregone conclusion

Is Rand logical when he estimates female danger?

I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand.

I'd actually go with Elayne in matters of battle.

If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead

The reverse would be true too, though...

I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender.

Do fat kids run marathons? No. And no Rand isn't logical when he estimates female danger. *NM*
