;"although translation is not the sphere of the
Guardian's infallibility"
i would offer that only the Guardian is ther determiner of the Guardian's
situational conferredness (to neologise) of infalliblity.
i tend, being the smple beast of the fields tht i am to refer to that gorgeous
"error" of "mistaking" a ha for whatever an e would be--"thru Whom te letters b
& e were joined..."
which is flat out wrong...and, to my ears, utterly, infallibly, perfect.
towards the issue of "learn your own language" as a key to reading, i would
offer that WOB appears after "fatherland" becomes a relatively offputting word,
like after the reichstag burns which happens in between the two cited
instances. it's offputting especially to a russian from the motherland,
especially after, o, stalingrad.
can the conferred infalliblity of the Guardian extend to acting on that?
i say yes..but only the Guardian would be able to say Authoritatively yes or
no...
;"responsibility to try to get it
right."
i only know of 2 proofs for "right":
does the result feed babies, enhance the odds of virtues inculcation, empower
self-empowerment/surrender, "ongo" to civitas??;
did the Guardian say that's what Baha'u'llah or or the Master said, and
empower the infallible House to infallibly elucidate what to do about it.
those to me are archimedean fulcra, like
lol...Two Pillars, free-standing. :-)
