Nynaeve and other Aes Sedai

This is specifically about Nynaeve test for Aes Sedai. I find the whole situation so absurd and exemplifies so much of what makes the White Tower a completely bankrupt organization. In the short time that's she's been affiliated with the tower the woman helped set the weather right, defeated forsaken, helped cleanse saidin and healed stilling, while the Aes Sedai testing her did jack all in the hundreds of years they've been around with the vast resources of the tower besides sniffing, rearranging skirts, splitting their own tower and getting in the way of everything. She should have been recognized as full aes sedai to a chorus of I'm not worthies from the others as soon as the tower was reunited.

Instead these petty tyrants are so blind in their ego and malice as to torture and try to almost kill her in the terangrael because what, she refuses to renounce her humanity to respect their pointless rules? And then they have the gall to consider failing her! How narrow-minded, petty, self important and plain foolish do you have to be to consider rejecting a woman with her abilities, not to mention her relationship with the dragon reborn, as the last battle is right in front of you, all because she was running inside your stupid test??

I see a lot of posts blaming ishamael for how the tower is, but I think these aes sedai got there all by themselves.
