So you didn't know?
So you didn't know what the person said, was saying, doing or believed? (even though series of "correct reports" must indicate something is not quite right with the initial report). That is why the rebukes. There is a time for that. That is also why those who go about that they got "more" or "nothing less" than him seem grossly out of point . To say nothing about students in the institution where it all originated, who spread their beliefs. Ordinarily, a consideration of an unfaultable dedication to teaching and training of students who by no means are more competent go out with (by then) salary conversion rates no less than four times the teachers own(more like 10-20) should have indicated to them that something is wrong with their belief.
