Was the strongest identified rival actually searched?

Did the research search actually locate and test the strongest identified rival, or only a convenient one?

How to read this page

Assembled from sources by the analysis pipeline. Not reviewed, not published as a Library verdict. Method control. Partial compliance with documented gaps. No theological verdict. 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 claim is that the search actually located and tested the strongest identified rival, not a convenient one.

What it still does not settle

An undiscovered stronger account may still exist, and English-language or popular skew is a real residual. This is a search-coverage check, not a theological verdict.
