I left out the word "don't" after the initial "I." I don't think that triumphalism is impossible in a Baha'i context because, as you said, Baha'u'llah's Revelation is only superior in relation to the past. Progressive Revelation - whether between Dispensations, within Dispensations, within societies or groups, or contained within individual biographies - should be a healthy antidote for all claims of triumphalism.
