DY: Let’s agree to disagree about Tanur; the other question is way more interesting.

(This is all hypothetical, to prove the point)

Let’s take a semi-random Ikkar: Moshe Rabbainu is the prime Navi. It certainly is within the realm of hypothetical possibility that it is not the case. There could be Neviim in the future, past or present that are greater than Moshe Rabbanu in Nevuah (once again, I don’t believe this, but rather just arguing the point). The Chiyuv is to believe that Moshe Rabbanu is the prime Navi, not to prove as such. Apply the same concept to the non Corporeality of the RBSO.

Our chiyuv is not to prove the negative (i.e. the RBSO has no Guf), but to believe that is is true.
