I agree with you. Pranam. It is one-sided as there is a book " Everyone is entitled to my opinion by David Brinkley", which raises the other angle. And no one can guess or gauge the strength of the opponent before generating the opinions. And there are samples who always pretend to be wise by blabbering too. So as B G was not told to Arjuna only, though Arjuna was used as a tool, it may not male 700 billions wise, but even if only 7 they make the world difference. Bharathiyar hence wrote Sange Muzhangu.
