In keeping up to date on this topic on Dragonmount, i came across a reply that made me wonder whether the Big Unnoticed Thing is that the seals are already, and have been, broken.
I mean, why should the seals be working if they physically no longer carry the attributes of cuendillar? wasnt it originally important that they be made of cuendillar? since they dont act like cuendillar, shouldnt the seals no longer work, regardless of whether they are technically whole?
for refrence, here's the post:

“Perhaps it is the Dark One's seals. Not sure if this thought has been put forward. It was first touhed upon in the scope of books 4-6. Moiraine gives one to Rand and scrapes of a sliver. Taim gives Rand one when they first meet. Dobraine Taborwin and Davram Bashere (well, his wife) were both attacked by Darkfriends looking for it."
"One thing of note is that when Taim first presents it to Rand in LoC, Rand notes that three seals are broken and three are broken, with the seventh still out there. He thinks, "Only four seals stood between humankind and the Dark One. Four, if the last was still whole." However, those three are now the only intact ones.”
