“Or , Phrased in another way – If you, CS, would be put in a ‘time machine’ , transported to the 1990 – 1994 era , and would be commenting on these pages , would you ‘explain’ those hazal like the shitah of ‘then habad’ or like you do now ?”

I have no idea. In my experience a) The women weren’t as involved in the combative politics and b) the whole era is a sensitive topic. Therefore I haven’t gotten clear info yet from the Chabad side on this but I’ll keep it in mind. Just to make sure I have you right, you say the reason others didn’t see The Rebbe as a candidate for Moshiach (obviously among the ones who didn’t) had nothing to do with the alive or dead debate? So what was it then? Just so I have you clear.

Secondly, of course there may be personal bias involved when learning- personally I question anything that doesn’t add up to me as things come up in learning. This is also why it’s so important to have the guidance of a mashpia and Rav so you don’t just go down a self deluded lane.
