> The problem with asking Lou to rephrase is that Lou is reporting an experience, not a belief. So he can't honestly say that he believes the Rider told him this or that. He has to say that the Rider told him this or that. But I don't see how it's offensive if the Rider told him, Lou, to do something or to believe something. That doesn't in any way follow that the Rider told everyone to do that. Especially if Lou made clear that he wasn't trying to say that the Rider's instructions applied to everyone.
FWIW I agree.
