I'll not make any comment about your theory but I would
point out that "hearing voices" is regarded as a common
indicator of chaneler madness.
Cadsuane asked Rand of this soon after meeting him. Indeed
assuming the voices were a symtom would seem to be a
logical conclusion.
Rand did not come to this conclusion but instead made
contact with LTT.
This may well have been possible for any chaneler.
I bekieve that this is how Mazrim Taim managed to learn
so much, which would tie in with another theory, posted here,
of who Mazrim Taim was, Beidomon.
