[Wheel of Time] Why don't the Whitecloaks use the most foolproof way to ferret out their prey?

In episode 2 of the Wheel of Time show, a "Questioner" stopped Moiraine and (ostensibly) suspected that a woman and an armed man could possibly be Aes Sedai. Why don't they just demand that every woman/man combination they meet simply lie?

"Just one thing before you proceed. Please state, directly, 'my clothing is yellow'. Just that sentence and you're free to go."

An Aes Sedai would not be able to repeat a blatant falsehood, would they?

If Moiraine complies, is she lying?  She's not necessarily saying that his clothing is actually yellow, she's following a command.  If she can convince herself that she's following a command and not telling her own view, she maybe can say it.  Also, what IS yellow?  Is it a color?  White is all colors, so in a way, his clothing IS yellow, it's just every other color too.

Aes Sedai have millennia of experience saying one thing but meaning another.  White Cloaks know this, so they wouldn't trust any simple test.
