Exactly, therefore I said that statements like the following are relative. "Prabhupada says that the brain size of woman is smaller than that of a man therefore the woman are less intelligent than man." it may be so, but not absolutely, etc. Interesting to note also the following realization about Srila Prabhupada's statements about World War III. "The devotee was concerned about a war and the Y2K issue. He backed up his fear with general allusions to "but Prabhupada said there would be war." "After around 45 minutes of research on Folio I started to see a picture forming: Srila Prabhupada's statements were generally based on real-world observations, and they didn't seem mystical, prophetic, or even, always correct. It is also interesting how devotees latch onto a "Prabhupada said" without examining why and in what circumstances he said what he said."
