Salutations,
Well, we have to remember that his 'guru' status was given by laypeople.
And I am sure you know that technology looks the same to a layman as magic.
Ed could simply have fooled them. And we all know what idiots laypeople
are. That is why 'idiot' is the first level.
I say 'Have Ed prove his powers!'. If he is such a guru, show it. Let
him put his hands on a Newton 110, and make its HWR work like a MP2100.
Let me see him heal a damaged screen or a chipped case.
Have him regenerate the grippy surface!
Let him demonstrate the ability of a Palm with a Newton. Oh, wait, that
is too easy. I meant the other way around!
Show us the guru powers!
If you have them.
