Some teachers are genuine, some false, and some just plain wrong. The entire study of metaphysical philosophy should not be discounted because one point of view occassionally conflicts with another. I was suggesting the person look to the majority of opinions as a guide to which one might be closer to the truth.

Yup, I agree, read a lot of opinions, and let your intuition tell you which ones make sense. Don't discredit an author because he is "wrong" on one point though, because the other 99% of his teachings could be totally right, just that one thing that he still hasn't learned.
