SImple Rand task

Am I the only one who thought Rand going to see the Aiel history was a little pointless or he basicly got a huge pass?  Only 1 in 3 men come out because seeing the aiel history is so shocking for them.  But Rand not being raised aiel might of been shocked but I doubt it was going to be so traumatic he would never come out.  So it seems like his becoming chief of chiefs was made a bit easy for him.  As long as he survived the walk to and from, there really was no chance he was going to fail the test.
