When they present opinion as personal opinion and theory as speculative theory, no harm is done. But sooner or later the position in which they find themselves--placed on pedestals and worshipped as idols--brings on a belief in their own infallibility and a presentation of mere opinion as divine revelation. The situation is much worse when the guru is a man locked up in his own mad delusions and misleading his followers into sharing them.
