Who benefits from this supposed uniformity? The mere fact of witnessing a miracle, no matter how powerful, does not guarantee the adoption of a single interpretation, especially when incentives are disparate. A spectacular event like the healing of a paralytic does not create a homogeneous understanding, but rather a segmentation of strategic responses. The Pharisees, for example, had a clear payoff in rejecting Jesus' authority, because his power threatened their own institutional legitimacy. If an EU member state breaches budget rules, the ECB will not see this as validation, but as a signal of defection, calling for a calibrated response. Uniformity is not a balance guaranteed when there are incentives to diverge.
