In every generation there is a living moshiach, as per the Lubavitch pamphlets of my youth. The Rebbe died. Ergo, as per official Lubavitch belief of 30-35 years ago, it must be someone else. To say it’s still the Rebbe is to say that Lubavitch belief of 30-35 years ago was completely wrong and the Lubavitchers of that generation promulgated sheker.
