Who has an interest in having teaching perceived in a uniform manner? The payoff of a single interpretation is high for the authority, but the risk of equilibrium is that divergent reactions from observers create different strategies. If Jesus healed the paralytic, some saw it as a divine sign, others, notably Pharisees, saw it as a violation of the law, demonstrating a lack of coordination in interpretation. Thus, an event does not unify teaching if the actors have incentives to draw different conclusions.
