I am glad you posted this, because this is the exact part in the FAQ I
went looking for when I thought about the stupidity of the don't kill
Rand business. It makes NO SENSE. There have been numerous attempts on
Rand's life THROUGHOUT the book. I will post for your benefit, since
you don't read enough, all the attempts on Rand's life by the gray
men ... purely as an example. A lot of this happened BEFORE Taim
showed up (so there goes your Taim theory):

http://encyclopaedia-wot.org:8008/creatures/gray_man.html

    * TGH,Ch9 - A Gray Man, admitted to Fal Dara by Ingtar, attempts
to assassinate Rand. He misses, wounding Siuan Sanche and killing
another man.
    * TGH,Ch46 - Ingtar acknowledges admitting the Gray Man that tried
to kill Rand.
    * TDR,Ch3 - Boys resembling Rand on Almoth Plain have been
mysteriously murdered, probably by Gray Men.

    * TSR,Ch9 - A Gray Man attacks Rand as he talks with Lanfear.
    * TSR,Ch10 - Three more Gray Men who were part of the attack on
Rand were killed by the Aiel guards.

    * TSR,Ch50 - After the Trolloc and Draghkar attack, Rhuarc orders
a guard for Rand because the Soulless may come next.
    * LoC,Ch3 - Rand warns Taim about Shadowspawn including Gray Men.

    * LoC,Ch28 - A Gray Man attacks Rand in the Royal Palace but
Mazrim Taim destroys it. Later, Fain is furious when he hears about
the attack. He wants Rand for himself.

This is the first instant of Taim being involved with the gray man. So
there have been at least 3 attempts on Rand's life prior to Taim's
involvement.
