What Zin said is that she could have become the Little Moon aka the White Orbiter. This could easily be Dendara (Moskalf to those who only have Elder Secrets). Or it could have been another planet that popped up during the Illiteracy era. And that is only one of the possible suggestions he had as to what became the Red Moon. To assume that the White Orbiter is the White Moon is like believing that Murharzarm is Grandfather Mortal IMO.
[Nick used the BoDR to support an identification of Sedenya with the Black Moon. I commented to that the book also equates Sedenya with the Draconis Stella. Nick then theorized that Tyram, Sedenya and the Dragon were all seen as Chaotic by the Starseers.]
He then adds:

But you *used* it to as evidence that Sedenya was the Black Moon. That is why I singled it out.

I thought I explained that in the section to Cake's reply that I felt it better to explain where people (IMO) are missing the point with assuming that the Red Moon was Blue and will be White rather than violate Rule #2. Everything else I had to say about your 'perfectly reasonable' theory was in there.

The answer, grasshopper, is straitjacket.
