I try to imagine if you all were at the rebbes inauguration and debut, where at his first public speech as a young, newly minted rebbe, after studying engineering in college for a few years he basically alluded to the fact that he thinks of himself as the moshiach whether you would have questioned him or be pulled in by his brilliance and charisma?
Now your all to emotionally invested to admit that you where missled. This is my personal opinion, Im sure you'l vehemently argue.
