I think it actually qualifies him more than disqualifies him....It puts him at least a little bit closer to the shard-holder (Brandon.....who I suppose in this case we could refer to as Adonalsium...or something), and all the more likely to have a shard himself. Making him more like Hoid. And therefore more qualified to be Hoid....Yes.
i'm going to have to disagree. And not because your logic is wrong or anything, but mainly because i feel like being disagreeable at the moment.
Take, for example, this perfectly logical counter argument.
Shard, which hoid has, rhymes with bard, which hoid sort of is, because of his storytelling and all. Hoid also rhymes with void, which is what space is. This is because Hoid is all over space like a mo' fo'.
Now space, obviousl rhymes with mace, which women use to protect themselves. Now, this all may be well and good, and if we left it at this, zas would be prefectly qualified, however, we haven't yet considered that a mace can ALSO be a type of weapon! That's right! Look it up!
Obviously, a weapon can be used to harm and kille people. People also kind of rhymes with feeble, which clearly, IN NO WAY, rhymes with Zas.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the offense rests its case.
