or, it's what worked best for the story. 8)

could also be as simple as one burnt out, and one simply didn't. a piece of equipment with a defect might break the first time you use it, or the tenth. or never, if you're lucky. the odds of the latter seem low, but nevertheless.
my guess would actually be story convenience: jordan may have wanted to use the male choedan kal later in the story, and further, needed the female one to melt because (1) it demonstrated that they can in fact be destroyed through intensive use (bearing out previous claims by characters) and (2) it triggered the mass suicide in knife of dreams, another important story element.

i ban jelly for banning me!
i've read up to book 4 or so, more than enough to know they're not for me. for the longest time i still owned a couple of them, until i took a hatchet to them. damn that was fun.
as i always say when i go off on these books, i'm attacking the material and the author, not the fans.
and the only real problem i have with the author is that he's a self-important moron. that's all. the books wouldn't be so bad either, if they were written by someone else, and didn't contain any of the characters, settings, or concepts that they do. if just those things were changed, then they could be great.
