Teiku? ;-) (Eliahu will figure out how to answer this difficulty about the man 
he honoured)

Seriously, that gemara need not be absolute, as per the story pof Rabbi Elazar 
ben Durdia (TB AZ 17a). Evn though he was no longer eligible for teshuvah, 
his sincere teshuvah was accepted and he was upgraded to be called "Rabbi", 
to boot.
