Okay. Prove to me that the voice Rand hears is actually Lews Therin. Prove that the Dark One exists at all. Or the Creator. Prove that the taint was truly cleansed. None of these things are physical.

How do we know they actually exist?

Okay. How about the existence of trollocs, myrdraal, gholam, grolm, raken and pretty much anything else that doesn't get its own POV?

Ah, but what proof do we have of this experimentation? It's only been mentioned from various characters' POVs.

By that logic, I can claim that Mordeth wasn't truly a separate evil simply because we're only ever told that by various POVs. Or that Rand isn't the Dragon Reborn. Or anything, really. After all, it's only POVs. Hell, the BWB that you so enjoy touting is also just a POV, but you seem to accept...

After setting up a straw man, appealing to authority and attempting some special pleading in this thread alone, you accuse me of using logical fallacies? Interesting. My response was not an attempt to change the subject. It was a direct reference to a number of facts: 1. You attempted to...

Yup. Absolutely no choice at all once you go over to the Dark One. Which is why Verin was at the Last Battle, slinging balefire at the good guys. Wait, what's that? She defied Shai'tan, took poison and revealed the names of almost every Black sister in the Tower? Oops. As for the rest of my...

Brilliant. Rand doesn't really understand TDO because all he did was figure out how to seal his prison. Meanwhile, the BWB is more reliable because, well, "because Herid Fel" appears to be the crux of your argument. Setting aside for a moment the fact that there's no indication that Fel has...

As established, the BWB is not a reliable source. Certainly not as reliable as Rand at the moment of his decision. As such, your theory is based entirely on what you want to believe rather than any sort of rational case. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story, basically.
