nom – that rule doesn’t apply in this type of case.
If I fly a certain airline and am met with a set of experiences, it is fair to say that I cannot extrapolate that all airlines will share this outcome. If I go to a chabad house and there is tons of food and hundreds of people I can’t assume all chabad houses are the same.
But if you talk to many lubavitchers, read publications and see videos where the same philosophies or beliefs systems are stated, I may not be able to generalize that all lubavitchers love PR or all lubavitchers are into media but there would be no basis to wake up in the morning and say that, although they have all spread the same message, perhaps there is a whole group spreading a different message somewhere but keeping it so quiet that the message goes no where. And the absence of any push back from them would normally mean agreement but perhaps out of nowhere I should just poof, come up with an idea that perhaps really nobody agrees with this very loud, very public, very consistently unified group, they just don’t want to say anything against it. They hope the idea just falls into your brain on its own that maybe even tho you hear the same song over and over it may not be the real song.
You can’t apply that to this type of situation.
