I agree that it may be hard to pin down. But Lee kept using it as if it was simply an assumed fact.

Recently, someone pointed to some of Lee's teachings during the mid/late 80s where he said that chaos always followed the ministry. I'd never heard that one. But I read a little of it and it is even buried in there.

I know I spent several years speaking of the two sides to so many things even after leaving the LC as if it was simply a good assumption that there always was. I may not have been officially taught that, but I was taught it unofficially. I can hear it now. "If Lee didn't actually teach it, then it's just your own fault."

I know that he constantly said there were two sides to so many things. Some of them were clearly true. And I'm not sure that there is some place where he says in absolute terms that every truth has two sides. But every time he pointed to something with two sides, he would say the fact of the two sides in such a manner that we should have expected it — as if it should be assumed.
