Again you're avoiding the context. What does this have to do with someone calling hopping "levitation" while being fully aware that what they're doing is not levitation in the standard sense of the term, i.e., floating in the air? I don't *think* you're claiming that people who believe MMY "has a handle on Absolute Truth" as you define it are convinced they're hovering in the air when they're only hopping--are you?
