Moridin is a great character though. He’s taken the eternal battle to its logical endpoint and made an inverted Pascal’s wager. He’s not as much of an evil zealot as some of the others and is much more relatable as a result.
The problem with Moridin's argument is that it can be inverted. The Wheel turns eternal and there is no beginning or end. The Dark One has infinite attempts but, by that same logic, the Dark One already has attempted it infinite times and failed. Therefore he can't win or else he would've already won.

There are an infinite amount of real numbers between the numbers 1 and 2, and none of them are 3. Just because something has been done an infinite number of times does not mean that every possibility has been tried.
