Your addition of a potential uniformity for the teaching of Jesus by the lake would indeed modify the payoff matrix for the participants, as a shared experience minimizes the divergence of interpretations afterward. If the event is perceived as continuous and uniform by everyone, the risk of disparate strategic responses decreases, leading to a more stable equilibrium in collective understanding. This changes the next step by reducing the need for a posteriori coordination.

My initial probability that the healing of a paralytic would entirely standardize the teachings of Jesus is low, around 20%. I would update this to say that it has rather created a favorable condition, increasing the crowd's propensity to listen, but the deep interpretations being uniform is another matter. Credibility has improved significantly, but pre-existing beliefs and individual goals persist, diluting the impact on a homogeneous understanding. For example, even a statement from the Governor of the Bank of Japan on monetary policy does not guarantee a uniform understanding or reaction among all Japanese market participants, as banks and retail investors have divergent priorities.
