To me, the sutta simply demonstrates how the Buddha offered teachings according to the dispositions & wishes of others. It is incorrect for us to hold such teachings are the core teachings of the Buddha. They are merely the Buddha answering to the aspirations of others.

Thanks Element,

Through a more carefull reading of the sutta, that came to mind when the thirth sentence tells:

3. Now a discussion arose between (the Brahmin students) Va̅seṭṭha and Bha̅radva̅ja -- while they were taking exercise (after their bath), walking up and down in a thoughtful mood -- as to which was the true path, and which the false.
