| Yes, that's what I'm getting at, whether this would be the correct assumption to make. But I do see Joshua's point, that when being the weaker brother turns into forcing one's conviction upon others, a line needs to be drawn. |
Indeed! And the weaker brother is specifically instructed not to do so!

The problem is, everyone assumes himself to be the stronger brother!
