Rand went crazy with power and struck out in a dangerous manner, without thinking the consequences through fully.
The writing of the scene makes it seem like Rand's actions nearly either released the DO, or nearly unmade reality.
It was a classical example of using the Ends to justify the Means, and it is most certainly not something that the Champion of the Light should have done.
