I would say that I think given some of the answers we've received to issues in the series, it is a common reaction to go to far in the other direction and become a "theory nazi", rejecting anything you don't think is possible beased upon your own subjectively-laden interpretation of the series. There are degrees of likelihood but truly, we are dealing with a situation where the current writer had to defer to an assistant, which suggests to me that there is a lot of room for error.
And, you know, given the theories that floated around regarding the Finns, magical wishes, Dark One tampering, True Power Shields and etc, say she chooses not to reveal her true strength until the right moment seems rather conservative to me.

My Lanfear/Cyndane theory has been disproven.

Actually, I didn't mean to imply that my idea of female strength is related to body size ...

It's NOT due to Stilling or Healing and it's NOT due to Cyndane's weaker body...

I think Moiraine's gaining strength seems a little too LotR.

I think Moraine gaining strength is VERY LotR. That's why I think RJ went with it... *NM*

I think BS's error regarding Cyndane's strength can also be explained by this theory...

Cadsuane is considerably stronger than Moiraine

We don't know the magnitude of what Aes Sedai consider a significant strength difference...

You are comparing Male and female strength here

Agreeing to disagree here ... we interpret the evidence differently and it's futile to argue.

Also would explain the question of why Moiraine left the angreal on the wagon instead of using it...

Lanfear would have been toast if Moiraine had the angreal, plus foreknowledge of the confrontation..

BS says that Cyndane is truly weaker. So, this theory is out. *NM*
