Let's face it. The only reason LCers believe the doctrine is that Lee taught it. If he hadn't taught it they wouldn't believe it. If he had dropped it, they would have dropped it.
They certainly don't cling to because it makes sense, or because the know what is "meant" by it.
So they go around acting like they understand what it means, and dismiss those who disagree with it as not "understanding it." But LCers don't "understand" it either. They've just convinced themselves they do so they can go along with Lee and not become outcasts in the LC.

If you are trying to help most LCers, none of this matters. Like I said, your approach will turn most LCers off completely. If you more interested in venting than in appealing to them in a way that will help them break through, then that's fine. Most LCers
do believe in this teaching, and acting as though they are idiots for doing so will not serve to help them.
