I believe DO is perfectionist and that he has perfect timing. :)
Besides, Ishy had to know Taim in order to impersonate him by making weaves, no one knows Moridin, he could just make whatever weave he likes, no one would know the difference.
Two posts below the first one:
:lol
But the theory I see it now is:
1. Ishy got killed.
2. Real Taim got "rescued".
3. Ishy got Taim's body.
4. Ishy goes and presents himself to Rand, LTT goes berserk, Bashere is suspicious if he is Taim or not, he doesn't look exactly the same.
5. Ishy...

@Thempus
What animosity, dude? I just disagree with your points, and I stated clearly why. NO animosity here.
And yes, the thing was driving me crazy until someone did write that Taim=Moridin is one of the theories that's been around.

Forsaken also recognize Lews Therin, even though he has a new body.
And I don't think...

Sorry, but to me it doesn't make sense that anyone who is only familiar with their culture and history would call them "so-called" Aiel.
And here is the part that actually convinced me that Taim and Ishamael are the same person...

He can't be a student. Even if he knew the truth about Aiel, if he was born in this age it wouldn't make any sense to call them "so called" Aiel.
Apart for the Warden bond, which is actually a pretty strong argument, everything else...
I was rereading LoC last night and really paid attention to what Taim was saying. He called Aiel "so-called Aiel", and definitely displayed a knowledge no one who wasn't well familiar with Age of Legends wouldn't have. Beside Forsaken, no one else calls Aiel "so-called Aiel". Actually, it...
