Actually, he could be using the case of women as proof that nevu'ah in
general doesn't require talmud Torah. Who other than the Rambam links
nevu'ah knowledge rather than deveiqus, moral imitation of the Borei or

(Bil'am may be an example of that, but he is too much of a special case to
qualify as proof or anything. And how much Torah did ANY of the nevi'im
before Moshe study?)
