Avira,
I’m really glad I taught you something new, and that you had the humility to admit it. Now you’re absolutely right that if The Rebbe had passed, and his efforts to bring moshiach would have naturally stalled with that, there’d be no argument. Because that would be lo hitzliach ad ko. The reason why we enjoy picking on the diyuk in Rambam is because in this case, gimmel Tammuz did not at all affect The Rebbes work because it has only increased. And not through a successor but ask Abby Lubavitcher chossid who his current Rebbe is, and he’ll tell you it’s The Rebbe who empowers him in his shlichus and Avodas Hashem today! In this way actually, The Reeves is more alive than every other Rebbe etc today who still won’t take the achrayus of sending single couples on shlichus… in any case, in this case the diyuk very much matters.
