Was internal critique confused with comparative adjudication?
Did a packet score a rival by its own standards, or treat an internal critique as a comparative win?

How to read this page
Assembled from sources by the analysis pipeline. Not reviewed, not published as a Library verdict. Method control. No theological verdict is authorized from this audit. This is not a claim that Eastern Orthodoxy — or any other school — has been established as the truth.
Draft research note
This page is a working note, not a settled Library verdict. The question is still open. If you know a source that bears on it — a lecture, an article, a primary text — you can suggest it. A person reads every suggestion before anything is published. Suggestions cannot publish themselves.

The strongest case
This is research-hygiene: the recorded temptation is to treat a rival's internal inconsistency as proof that Orthodoxy is true.
What it still does not settle
An internal critique can be dialectically forceful without showing the critic's own account is true. The audit on file found no mislabeled internal-as-comparative win; it authorizes no theological verdict.
