Reveal it to your listeners in the midst of well-we known phrases that always get lots of "amens" and they won't even notice that initial nagging question when you finally make your next ridiculous claim. At that point, the tsunami of "amens" will wash away any chance for the question to resurface later.
At least that's the way I recall it working in Lee's favor.

“out comes another golden calf”
And the purpose of a golden calf is too admire its beauty, how perfect it is, and to worship it by praises. This is my greatest fear of the recovery, that it lifts up the works, intellect, wisdom and character of men. These things at times receive as much praise and attention as the person and work of Jesus Christ. At times the works and character of Lee and Nee are lauded and praised as much as that of Christ. Brothers, this shouldn’t be.
