So, in a way, yes, I do have the new ACME spiritual tongues detecto device! Good job, Mr. Watson.

The issue was not 'communal conformity'. It was your assertion of one particular example of it and you know it. All anyone can do is observe that it happens and not why.

So there YOU go. Those people have no way of detecting these actions are spiritually affected. All they can do is observe it happens and make theories as to why.
