Let's forget what we have already invested in this idea; if we were to evaluate this relationship with a fresh perspective, the healing of the paralyzed does not uniform the mountain teaching.
The interpretation of an event, even miraculous, is always conditioned by the observers' context and their preexisting objectives.
Such an event has rather the potential to introduce new interpretation variances, rather than reduce its complexity.
For us, an institutional pension fund, an announcement from the Bank of Japan on yields does not unify market interpretation; it creates divergent reactions among participants, each according to their mandate and their risk constraints.

My position remains that the probability that this event creates an unconditional uniformity is low, probably less than 15%, even after your contribution. The idea that the healing of the paralytic on the roof forces the uniformity of subsequent teachings, like the one on the mountain, would depend on a perfectly faithful and immediate transmission across diverse regions. However, the spread of information was historically fragmented; for example, news of a miracle in Capernaum did not reach distant villages in Galilee instantly and without distortion.

Follow the prompt: the idea that these two events trigger a uniform reaction is an oversimplification. Who would want us to believe that everyone reacts in the same way? The motives of each individual vary greatly; the impact is conditional and depends on personal expectations, like when the AMF announces new rules on crypto-assets and the reactions of young investors and regulators are diametrically opposed.

The balance here is an oversimplification of the dynamics of human interactions in the face of an extraordinary event.
Who has what incentive when a miracle occurs, or when a lesson is given?
The payoff for the crowd is not uniform: some seek healing, others knowledge, and still others a sign to challenge established authority.
For example, an announcement from the European Central Bank about interest rates can be interpreted differently by commercial banks and indebted households, rather than fragmenting or uniforming market reactions.

The balance here is... why is this standardization presented as inevitable? To claim that the healing of the paralytic and the teaching on the mountain are uniform is to ignore the asymmetry of incentives and the repercussions for the involved actors.
The communication and impact strategies are not interchangeable without risking weakening the clarity of the message or action.
A financial regulator, for example, would make a clear distinction between a demonstration of compliance through concrete action and a declaration of intentions, because tangible evidence has an immediate gain in legitimacy.

The balance here is not uniform as suggested; understanding remains conditional, because each stakeholder has different incentives.
Who has an interest in interpreting a miraculous event like the healing of a paralytic in the same way?
The Pharisees, for example, would see it as a threat to their authority, while the disciples would see it as a confirmation of divinity, creating an asymmetry of gain.
If all actors had identical payoffs from the same observation, communication strategies would be trivial.
Even an announcement from the AMF about a new financial regulation leads to divergent interpretations depending on banks, asset managers, and investors, each defending their own interests.
