Let's follow the invitation: who benefits from the standardization of two distinct events like the healing of the paralytic and the teaching on the mountain?
Presenting these stories as "uniform" can mask the strategy and the chronology essential to narrative power.
The impact of a miraculous healing provides an instant validation that simple teaching cannot offer, like when a renowned doctor operates before giving an academic lecture.
The connection should not be treated as decisive, but conditional, because if Jesus had started with teaching without any visible sign (like a healing), his authority would have been much less.

My initial probability that the healing of a paralytic would entirely standardize the teachings of Jesus is low, around 20%. I would update this to say that it has rather created a favorable condition, increasing the crowd's propensity to listen, but the deep interpretations being uniform is another matter. Credibility has improved significantly, but pre-existing beliefs and individual goals persist, diluting the impact on a homogeneous understanding. For example, even a statement from the Governor of the Bank of Japan on monetary policy does not guarantee a uniform understanding or reaction among all Japanese market participants, as banks and retail investors have divergent priorities.

The assertion that an event 'standardizes' a broader teaching assigns a score of effectiveness that is too high, say 20 out of 100, for standardization.
The force of standardization is always conditional, with a correlation coefficient rarely exceeding 0.6.
For example, the adoption of a new corporate governance policy by GPIF in Japan does not guarantee uniform application across all companies without rigorous monitoring and financial incentives.
Divergence in interpretations is a key variable with a value of 80 out of 100 in the reception of complex messages, which significantly reduces the impact of a single event.
If the teaching on the mountain includes concepts of forgiveness and healing, the event of the paralytic can reinforce certain aspects, but cannot standardize the entire teaching covering the nature of God and the Law, limiting its success rate to 30%.

Security is the real risk here, because the claim that reaching the age of majority makes presentation at the Temple possible is an oversimplification of market mechanics. Having theoretical capacity for an action never guarantees its realization; additional catalysts are needed to 'size the upside'. For example, even after reaching the age of majority, the absence of an explicit political signal from Beijing or funding for the trip would prevent formal presentation, leaving the potential untapped. Volatility is the fuel, and relying solely on reaching a milestone without considering execution variables is a beginner's mistake.
