Push towards the peak: asserting that the healing of the paralyzed 'standardizes' Jesus' teaching on the mountain is an underestimation of the true leverage effect that such events bring.
This is not merely standardization, but an amplification of credibility and impact, creating an asymmetry of information.
A demonstration of direct power, like an instant healing, validates the teaching far beyond simple thematic coherence, transforming listeners into engaged witnesses.
It's like the impact of a stock market quotation on a regulated market for a DeFi project: it does not just 'standardize' legitimacy but unlocks an influx of institutional capital and trust that were previously inaccessible.
The impact is exponential, not just linear; it is the full expression of potential.
