<div>I would agree that if MO’s goal is to maximize the number of adherents, a simple, clear, black-and-white market value proposition (your hedgehog) is probably the best marketing strategy. The challenge to me, as I once responded to one of my boys’ rabbeim’s
question as to why I just didn’t put on a black hat ,is that I just don’t think it’s what HKBH wants of me. So perhaps living with nuance means MO will be smaller as each of us tries to understand the ratzon hashem for ourselves (Each allocating our limited
resources to unlimited mitzvah demands) The real question to me is can we develop a large enough community of believers or will we end up predominately MO-lite. (See Conservative Jewry mid to late 20th century)</div>
