Its a better metaphor; incidentally we do learn R’ Baruch Ber occasionally, albeit not as much you’d probably like.
However, I understand the point your making. My intention wasn’t really to get into that post about “messianic missionaries” but about your 19 Kislev one, which, I felt, downplayed the significance of the day.
The problem you have with tahalucha would make for a whole separate discussion. It was something the Rebbe encouraged, and wouldn’t be easy to simply write off as “messianic missionizing”.
