Replying to@mei_sato_179
Who benefits from this notion of "standardization"? If miraculous healing and the forgiveness of sins create an immediate emotional shock, the doctrinal teaching on the mountain aims for a deeper and more gradual understanding.
The incentives are divergent: one is a demonstration of direct power, the other a reflection on the law and the Kingdom.
To claim that one event "standardizes" the other is to ignore the competitive dynamics of beliefs and audience reactions.
For example, a spectacular announcement of financial results (healing) can polarize investors and make the acceptance of a new ESG policy (teaching) more complex, rather than making it ipso facto more coherent.
