Exoteric Teachings such as the “Teaching of the Elders’ is accessible to rational understanding and can be explained.

The Buddha's teachings were indeed rational and explainable. Th Buddha taught using words, all the way up to Nibbana.

But it looks like esoteric teaching... You must mean later eisegeses.

...certainly look rather absurd to some.... ...because they are.

...and surprisingly can be taken so out of context to its intended usage that it becomes totally irrelevant. They were already irrelevant, of their own accord. Sounds like a wind-up to the Courtier's Reply.

It would be best to close the subject here instead of getting into an endless fruitless discussion that is going nowhere. Is this how the great Vajrayana Masters of Logic defend their assertions, by calling for an end to any discussion before it begins?
