Very good observation.
What's so ironic in this case is that your story about MMY *wasn't even a challenge*, it was just an alternate possibility. And Barry could have continued to maintain his opinion *even if he accepted that your story was true*, by suggesting that MMY may not really have had a vision he thought was of Guru Dev, but had made it up as an excuse. (Of course, you also made it clear that you weren't claiming the vision MMY said he'd had was actually a visitation from a disembodied Guru Dev, so whether such visitations are even possible is completely irrelevant.) What Barry found so threatening about your story was the mere idea that there *was* an alternate possibility to his take. As I've been saying for some time--and LB Shriver also commented recently--some of the True NON-Believers here, Barry in particular, are utterly blind to the fact that their thought processes are indistinguishable from the those of the very truest of True Believers.
